We were saddened to hear of the passing of Bart Driessen, a well-known and respected figure in the international mushroom industry.

With decades of experience and a broad knowledge of composting, casing, growing and harvesting, Bart played an important role in advancing mushroom production worldwide. Through his company Mycosupport and earlier work at Sylvan, Sjaak Verdellen Consulting and Hoeijmakers Mushrooms, he supported many growers with his expertise and practical approach.

Bart will be remembered as a passionate professional who generously shared his knowledge. His impact on the sector will not be forgotten.

We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends and all who knew him.
