Courses about mushroom cultivation can be attended in many countries around Europe. There is education available for growing mushrooms on coffee grounds, [37] [38] more advanced training for larger scale farming, [39] spawn production and lab work [40] and growing facilities. [41] Events are organised with different intervals.
Now all mushrooms previously categorised under Copelandia are universally classified in Panaeolus. [1] The genus Copelandia was created as a subgenus of Panaeolus by Abbé Giacomo Bresadola (1847–1929) in honor of Edwin Bingham Copeland (1873–1964), an American who gathered fungi in the Philippines and sent some collections to Bresadola.
Nepenthes copelandii (/ n ɪ ˈ p ɛ n θ iː z k oʊ p ˈ l æ n d i aɪ /; after Edwin Copeland) is a species of pitcher plant native to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines.Originally known from Mount Apo near Davao City and Mount Pasian near Bislig, it has since been discovered on a number of peaks throughout Mindanao.

Nepenthes philippinensis / n ɪ ˈ p ɛ n θ iː z f ɪ ˌ l ɪ p ɪ ˈ n ɛ n s ɪ s / is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines.It is known from Palawan and the neighbouring Calamian Islands (including Busuanga, Coron, and Culion) and Linapacan, where it grows at 0–600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level.
Termitomyces, the termite mushrooms, is a genus of basidiomycete fungi belonging to the family Lyophyllaceae. [3] All species in the genus are completely dependent on fungus-growing termites, the Macrotermitinae, to survive, and vice versa. [4]
Nepenthes palawanensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sultan Peak on the island of Palawan in the Philippines, where it grows at elevations of 1,100–1,236 m (3,609–4,055 ft) above sea level. [2] It was discovered in February 2010 by Jehson Cervancia and Stewart McPherson. [3]
The termites literally breed the mushroom, plant mushroom gardens and use it as food. The gardens are laid out in special chambers using excrement pills containing spores. The mycelium grows through the substrate (the accumulations of feces), and after a few weeks the fungus begins to form vegetative nodules that serve as food for the termites.
The flora of the Philippines boasts a diverse array of plant species given its location in the great Malaysian flora. The Malaysian Phytogeographic zone is considered to be one of the most important centers for plant diversity because of the multitude and variance of species occupying that zone. [ 1 ]
