| Open Fung: Phil Ross | 24 Jan 2025 | 01:47:22 | |
Phil Ross is a legend in the bay area myco-space. If you don’t know him, I suggest you start with the first video that really propelled Phil and the idea of myco-materials into the world entitled "Built With the Cleanest Technology on Earth: Nature" … Within this short video made only eight years ago, the fungal-bug that had and continues to bite us all is ever-present. It shows the possibilities, asks the questions and proceeds to answer only what the knowledge of the time had to offer. From an outsider's perspective, it has been a mad-dash to the “goldmine” of “myco-materials” fraught with cut throat competition and agents of chaos continually at work to feed the world's obsession with materialism instead of revolutionizing it. But Phil and his massive contributions to the concepts and execution to the production of things like “mushroom leather” make him a different kind of human. He is not dead set on generating some sort of massive intangible entity to gain myco-dominator-status, instead Phil is focused on opening up the often clandestine institutional research to all the underground mycological networks. With his project “Open-Fung” there remains a focus to build and develop a community within the world as opposed to contributing to the fallacy that is our social-media-dilema can drag us into some “new light”…are we really connected or are we simply refining our puritanical ways with 24-7 access to the main vein of the drama drip? What I got after spending time with Phil last summer was this: The man wants to have a conversation with fungi, he wants to communicate with it and I'm 100% sure he will in due time. The exhaustive efforts of such a deceptively simple idea, has been a road of unexpected maneuvers for Phil, but alas we don’t talk about any of that in this podcast, instead we focus on the ideas above materialism and even go back to a time when zines, flip-phones and gatherings of like minded people had a greater impact than all the collective likes and hearts and emoji-con chaos one can offer to the world’s collective of serotonin-seekers. Phil is the heart, keep an eye on this man’s movement and seek to understand what it means to Open The Fung! Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! | |||

| MadCap Mushrooms: Blake and Lindsey | 10 Jan 2025 | 02:25:13 | |
The mythical Ween-loving duo of MadCap Mushrooms, Blake and Lindsey, jammed gears from the cold mountains of Vermont over to the blistery doom of Maine for what started as a tour of Cap N Stem and turned into a fully fledged podcast recording session! This podcast was recorded using the antiquated old mics from our earliest episodes, lending a quality we have always shot for. If you have ever been on a podcast you know the magic of the mic, the boom arm, the headphones and the perceived audience...the set and setting...it all opens up the doors to story-telling magick! Blake and Lindsey's origin story is steeped in a tea of youthful expansions and contractions from and back to the lands of their birth to the farthest reaches that one must go to find whatever it is one is dead set on discovering in this life. But in the end, it all comes back to the dawn of a joint obsession...mushrooms bursting from all corners of an enclosed living space until the spores replaced the notion of breathable air...this is their gift...as they consume our notions of a life without them, until all we can do is feed their need to be cultivated and consumed! In the end, the mushrooms get what the mushrooms want! So follow along, for this weeks MycoWizards episode is sure to offer some familiarity in the launch, the take over and the plans for expansion!

One of the best parts about 2024's mushroom festival jaunt was running into Max of @wumbogenetics at the @farwestfungievents and the @okmushroomfestival ... Max is on a mission from fungi, dedicated to perpetually developing a suite of myco-products, refining a variety of lab processes and protocols as well building connections in the cultivation community. The hustle it takes to get into any specialization of the fungi industry is an intense one and Max is carving a multitude of pathways in directions directly connected to his curiosities; from myco-papers to vegan Japanese mushroom dishes and every microscopy angle accessible, Wumbo Genetics is keeping it fresh and exciting.

| Dr. Sara Webb: Mycelium In Microgravity | 13 Dec 2024 | 01:02:29 | |
The last thing I thought we'd be involved in when I first started cultivated mushrooms was sending phenotypes to space! If I step back and assess how we got here it absolutely blows my mind. Many mushrooms farmers, many entrepreneurs in general, have a solid sense of imposter syndrome...but here we are, It's 2024 and we are awaiting the arrival of three commercial mushroom phenotypes after a trip to the extraterrestrial space above our mighty green planet. For a couple of months now these phenotypes have hitched a ride on the ISS up there in the void and soon they return for laboratory investigation. Dr. Sara Webb is the amazing astrophysicist who got this project rolling by working with students to define and get a project off the ground, literally, and into space. While many questions still remain as to what will be discovered by bringing these organisms into and out of orbit, there is hope that fungi can be used in many different facets of space exploration, from food to building materials and everywhere in between.

| Flying Saucer Farms: Clint Jurek | 29 Nov 2024 | 01:40:09 | |
Clint Jurek of Flying Saucer Farms has cultivated, conquered, fulfilled the desire and is on his way out of the mycological world! It’s always a challenge to accurately describe just how wild and intense the rampant growth rate of decentralized mushroom cultivators in the US has been. From 2008 until today the number of “commercial cultivators” within the US has grown by 5000% or more. Flying Saucer Farms was right there in the middle of this explosion, spurred on by much more than an Amadou Hat and a Ted Talk. This growth has happened before in the US and world at large, but so much has changed since the last myco-boom. Its pathway into the future is now based 100% on the lightning speed sharing of information and concepts. Clint is a philosophical polymath dedicated to teasing through external ideas, theologies and communication systems as well as sorting through the internal concepts and conflicts, drives and motivations of his own being. For Clint the mushroom cultivators lab, incubation space and grow room is a whole or complex of temples/longhouses/pagoda’s/sanctuaries for the mycologist to work out a myriad of ideas. We amateur mycologists are a sort of archetype and the systems for cultivation are of our own design. We live and work in these systems like mycelium in a substrate. At a point of growth, expansion means introducing a plethora of external forces that can commonly be representative of the open doored church on the corner. Contamination will always make its way through a pinhole. For some, this is the end of the line, what lies beyond, in terms of literal growth, is no longer interesting or connected to the initial desire for exploration and construction of the temple of mycelium. As Clint moves on and hands off his creation, the passing of the torch begins and a rewiring of internal drives take-hold. What happens next for Clint will always have a portion of its origins in the metabolism of fungi! Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! | |||
| Sno Valley Mushrooms: Will Lockmiller | 15 Nov 2024 | 01:49:28 | |
It’s easy to get pulled into the groundswell of hyper fixated myco-nerds at a mushroom festival. At some point after this conversation you are about to hear, Will Lockmiller of Sno Valley Mushrooms, Roger Rabbit and Robert Rogers, collected myself and Danielle Stevenson to go join Will and his partner for dinner at an obscure and hidden gem of an Olympic Peninsula Mexican Restaurant. Will and myself went down all of the mycological avenues and industry gossip like wolves in a rabbit den until we looked up to see everyone else a little more quiet than us. RR speaks up, “Jesus, are these two still talking about mushrooms?!” This reality rings true for a lot of us in the cultivation scene when we get together with one another. RRs statement and Robert Rogers’ smile broke up the one track hive mind and we began talking about secret research projects, art and life. I will always be grateful for this meeting of the minds in a secret little mini mall oasis of a Mexican Restaurant as far north as one can get in the OP of Washington State. There is so much to say about Will’s achievements with Sno Valley but we will let the full conversation tell the tale!

| Tiger Sawgill: Thomas Roehl | 01 Nov 2024 | 01:15:40 | |
Lentinus Tigrinus AKA the "Tiger Sawgill" mushroom is something that has fascinated a handful of mycologists for a long stretch of time. From a fungal evolutionary standpoint, it is a mushroom with a long stretch of phylogenetic-flux. The current fruitbodies develop as a rather straight forward "agaricoid" form while simultaneously exhibiting a "secotioid" morphology within the same phenotypes. If you look back far enough into Lentinus' ever evolving phylogeny you'll find Lentinus Tigrinus is a polypore relative thanks to the postdoc work of Dr. Alexander Bradshaw...This past summer I was asked to talk at Northspore's "Mycology Outside" event and the first person I was introduced to was Thomas Roehl of Cark University. We immediately began chatting about the "Buller Phenomenon" and Thomas filled me in briefly on what his presentation would be about: Lentinus Tigrinus. While we go into a bunch of components of his talk in this episode you can get the pretty complete download on it Here ... Thomas, working along side Alxander Bradshawn and David Hibbett, who was one of the first mycologists at Clark to really dig into the Tiger Sawgill, have uncovered some amazing details about this fascinating mushroom. Thomas' past mycological projects and devotion to fruiting Lentinus Tigrinus in controlled environments, capturing amazing timelapses of both the mushrooms morphologies, brings this genus and species full circle for the cultivators out there!

| Dedikaryotization: Gregor Jones | 18 Oct 2024 | 00:47:40 | |
We have spent an incredible amount of time thus far tearing into our infamously high yielding commercial dikaryons to develop a gourmet monokaryon culture bank here at Cap N Stem. The goal at the end of the day is to understand these monokaryons on a deeper level and to develop new breeding programs. Last week we launched our expansive episode on the process of mechanical dedi-kary-ot-ization over at mycowizards.com and this week we figured we would release an entire conversation on the topic between Sir Gregor Jones and Erik Lomen to bridge the gap between the audiophiles and the die hard MycoWizards Deep-Dive subscribers and community members. A big thanks must go out to @protoplastpurveyor for simplifying the mechanical dedi process. Keep getting weird with fungi ya'll!

| North Spore: Eliah Thanhauser | 04 Oct 2024 | 02:01:38 | |
It took over a decade but I finally got the chance to sit down with Eliah Thanhauser of North Spore and discuss our long and interwoven histories in the Maine mushroom industry. North Spore has excelled in so many things through their explosive growth in the myco-sphere. Co-evolving alongside of them has been an amazing ride full of insight and challenges and tales for days! While Eliah and I just scratch the surface on a variety of topics, we had an audience to keep in mind as we sat among the most amazing fungal-fanatics at this years Mycology Outside, an annual event North Spore hosts at the Ecology School is southern Maine. Eliah has a heart of gold and the genuine curiosity and kindness that lights up a room and keeps this industry growing in the right direction. Persisting and expanding in the retail environment of the still burgeoning "Mush-Boom" is fraught will insane challenges but the dedication to continually educate the consumer remains at the forefront of the three founder's minds eye. Jon, Matt and Eliah are a rare breed of co-owners who have been sticking it out through thick and thin to see how far they can expand into the fungal feeding frenzy. While Jon and Matt were in the audience and pop in with comments from time to time, keep an ear out for their individual MycoWizard's episodes in the months to come!

| OM Mushrooms | 31 May 2024 | 01:57:40 | |
The age old tale, or so it seems in these fast moving times seems to be Mycelium vs. Fruitbodies ... but what if you simple added both into your products, built out and followed through with scientific studies for publication and actually collected data after proceeding to test, test and test again. Steve and Sam of OM Mushrooms have been doing just that and growing fast into the myco-obsessed market over the last 5 years. But their stories didn't begin just half a decade ago. Steve Farrar and Sam Andrasko (aka: Lipa of The Shroomery) sat down with us at their last location prior to their big expansion in Carlsbad California to talk everything from their early days cultivating to the modern myco-debacles. In a world now briming with big players, nutraceuticals have exploded onto the market but OM's inception was perfectly timed and primed for the very start of the pandemic. 2020 caused many things to happen all at once, but one of the unexpected occurrences was the sudden awareness, concern and some might even say obsession with healthy living through super foods and supplements. Mushrooms are getting their long overdue limelight in the west and OM is seeing a direct beneficial impact from such a monumental shift in the western ways of eating for a better life!

| Traveling Cap Mushroom Company | 26 Apr 2024 | 02:33:18 | |
Round about two years ago the entire Cap N’ Stem crew hosted a massive bonfire at our newly acquired property in Lewiston. Many joined in the insanity, many bailed, motorcycles broke down, did burnouts or wrecked into dark Maine gullies, but the fire raged on and the partying continued through to the next morning! One of the most mysterious characters to show, arrived in a feathered bowler hat with a grin soaked in mycological-stoke…you know the kind of smile, paired with those slightly sunken in eyes that say, “I’ve been up for 5 days straight knocking in front of the flow-hood and I still managed to make it to the bonfire!” Gabe DeCicco of Traveling Cap is one driven dude. He has been bitten hard by the cultivation bug and is currently dead set on building out his operation.

| Julian Mattucci (Imperial Scientific & Imperial Labs) | 08 Apr 2024 | 01:09:36 | |
Julian Mattucci, also know as @dedikaryotizationdaddy is a dedicated researcher and a talented mycologist. He has been in the throws of some of the more nerdy but important breeding work in the wild word of mushrooms. I came across his Dedikaryotization Protocol via a shroomery post offered up by the one and only @alan_rockefeller a few months back. Julian's work is focused on the development of a haploid culture bank for the purpose of getting folks into breeding his collection of isolates. From Dedikaryotization to DNA Sequencing and 3D Printing, Julian is a myco-engineer through and through ... If you are interested in genetics and breeding this episode is dedicated to you ... A large majority of cultivators start out with that star-struck-stoke on the fungal networks that begin emerging from their stainless steel work surfaces in front of their trusty home-built laminar flowhoods. After months and sometimes years of refining carefully crafted techniques aimed on expanding phenotypes, obsession takes over the majority of their free time. If the hobby develops into a mushroom based business, the origin energy that is hunting, discovering and breeding genetics never fully fades. Until now, not many folks could image being able to run a culture bank or even purchase proven strains from a culture bank with worthwhile genetics. Prior to the early 2000's, all we had was Mycelia, Aloha and a handful of small distributors of alleged commercial cultures. What Julian is building is a major step towards growing and stabilizing the emerging cultural hyperfocus on mushrooms with scalable cultivation-centric systems and precursors. So keep your eyes peeled for his work and get restoked to reenter the flowhood fuzzzzzzzz! Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! | |||

| Columbia Mushroom In 2024 (Neil Brent) | 29 Mar 2024 | 01:52:56 | |
Welcome back the mighty Neil Brent of Columbia Mushrooms! There are a million and one hilarious things that can be said about Neil, but this batshit hero to the cultivation crowd knows how to grow gourmet mushrooms like the best of them. What I appreciate most about Neil is his split dedication to the stoke and the stone cold assessments of any given situation, object or attempt to avoid a phone call, delicately entwined with all the dark humor one might hope to muster in a lifetime. Japan, as a country, knows who Neil is and so should you! He lives according to the madness we all have simply learned wrestle with as we grow our fungal kingdoms. Neil has mastered his craft and doesn't seek the same fame or fortune as most. His satisfactions are in the mechanical bits that keep his operation lean and focused. Mike Vance and I caught him after a wine bender but he none the less entertained our road weary souls for an afternoon of beer, food and of course, Mushrooms.

| Mighty Cap Mushrooms | 15 Mar 2024 | 02:21:38 | |
Mike and I ripped up the coast of California towards the never-ending boarder-lands between the sandy dunes of the hot as hell desert and the perfectly temperate pacific blue until we came to the land of Mighty Cap Mushrooms in Paso Robles. Chris and Branden emerged from the first expansion of Mighty Cap, a super clean and well organized grow, to give us a tour around. There are two personalities that can compliment one another in an extremely beneficial way in this industry and Chris and Branden are a perfect example of this. Chris can sell, talk and engage with an audience stoked beyond belief about mushrooms. Branden can grow, organize, focus and outperform many people with his long developed mycology skills. These two cultivators with their specialized skill sets, when brought together, stand a chance of building big things. Mighty Cap Mushrooms is now closing in on their next big expansion which is sure to rock Paso Robles and the surrounding towns with some of the freshest mushroom products in the state. So keep an eye on these folks as they grow and take over California with their stoke, drive and honed mycological minds!

| Hamilton Morris | 05 Mar 2024 | 01:09:26 | |
Shortly before deciding to take the leap into commercial gourmet mushroom cultivation, I stumbled across a video of a young Hamilton Morris reporting on Magic Truffles in Amsterdam for Vice News. In this video Hamilton visits a farm that had to quickly pivot away from fruit body production and into sclerotia forming p. tampanensis cultivation sometime around 2008 due to the prohibition of magic mushrooms by the Dutch government. Years before the ban on the actual fruitbodies, my childhood friend Ken and I entered the Netherlands as naive American stoners and exited through a one way portal into another dimension. Life, for me, was never the same. Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! | |||
| KM Mushrooms (Amanda Janney) | 01 Mar 2024 | 02:55:24 | |
Some of our favorite mushroom cultivators are of old punk origins. You know the ones, strapped and packed with an array of patches, CDs, books and leftover dinner all in that high resting backpack rippin’ uphill on a fixed gear or in deteriorating ox-blood doc martens hopping rails and riding free atop the boxcars dead set on the western sunsets. They stand for experience and true freedom in this land of insanity. Their Ginsberg-ian will to be weird projects outward in the most endearing way as does their smile and their outspoken nature when it’s most needed. The archetype of the zen lunatic punk turned cultivator always makes it clear as hell where they stand and Amanda of KM Mushrooms is as true blue punk as they get. I can’t remember when Mike and I decided to stop in on her farm along our west coast MycoWizards tour but we are damn stoked we did because we found a true homie to fold into the anarchist-myco-hive. If you don’t know KM, you clearly are in the wrong crowd, so listen in and enjoy this week’s episode recorded on sight with the one and only Amanda Janney!

There were many things racing through my head when I first met Roger Rabbit, the OG king of Shroomery.org! But an almost decade long battle to get his stolen land back in Malo, WA was not one of them. I’ve spent the better part of two years in conversations with Marc, going back and forth from the east coast to the west coast, riding motorcycles all over hell’s half acre to saturate myself in and understand the entire situation. After all this could happen to any of us and in fact it has happened to several of us cultivators in recent years. Reading through all of the documentation Marc diligently kept on the illegal destruction and seizure of his property, it still blows my mind that this sort of thing continues to happen in the United States, without retribution or even a day in court. Put simply, we humans can be a doomed people solely looking for an opportunity to exploit without much thought other than, how might I gain from this. I chose to believe the majority of the mushroom community is not like this and therefore we can help one another out when called upon. I know I do, every day, helping farms solve cultivation issues early in the morning, on my drive to and from the farm and late into each night. We are a different breed of people driven by different forces, we want to help, we are the earth workers and the lab nerds who shine bright with curiosity, determination and kindness. The town of Malo in Ferry County Washington is where Marc planned to retire. It is where his wife Vivian passed away and it is the place most of us know well from his “Let’s Grow Mushrooms” video series. The shipping container fruiting room buried in the side of the mountain, the double barrel steamer and that infamous tiny flowhood. The people of Malo WA are not our people, they are demonic chess players who thrive on motivations of advancement without concern for the people it negatively affects. Being denied a day to make his case at the Supreme Court level, Marc R Keith, alone, is out of options. But with a little help from our community, Marc might be able to get his property back and prove a wrong doing so intentional and illegal that even at a glance one would wonder how this was all allowed to happen. So I, Erik Lomen and the entire MycoWizards and Cap N Stem crew, along with Marc R Keith, ask you, MycoWizards of the world, to send out 4 letters referencing Marc R Keith vs. Ferry Country, WA to: FBI Field Office, Seattle 1110 3rd Ave Seattle, WA 98101 WA State Attorney General Bob Ferguson 1125 Washington Street SE, PO Box 40100 Olympia, WA 98504 VA Inspector General Hotline (53H) 810 Vermont Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20420 Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner P.O.

Eric Pearson of Son and Skye is a myco-farmers dead set on the details of cultivation. His interests exist within the systems, controllers and concepts for keeping rooms regulated and running in the intense heat and humidity of the Florida summers. While his farm is small and seemingly off grid in its appearance, the dials are finely tuned and honed in on simplicity which leaves breathing room for actually enjoying the fine art of cultivation. A lot of us who have grow our mushroom businesses past the point of no return with partners, loans, mortgages, grants and stretches of expansion that would drive any mycologist mad, have a lot to learn from someone like Eric. He has paved a different path, where he is able to run a business, spend time with family and experience life beyond the perpetual grind for growth and that is something more challenging that you would think!

It was 2015 and in a flash I was kicked off Facebook, for reasons I suspect originated with my being on the terrorist-watch-list after starting numerous Food Not Bombs Chapters across New England throughout my anarchistic youth. The constant ding of the notification bells for the newly formed and overactive CMGN was no more. A couple years later for some unknown reason I was let back in through the cornflower blue digital FB doors and like an old ghost entering a familiar hallway I noticed what seemed to be an abundance of new farmers humming along in the infamous CMGN lands. This moment was the first moment I realized mushrooms were about to have a bit of an explosive renaissance. Some of these farmers seemed like strangers yet others were familiar throughout their early Instagram use. Fox Farm and Forage was a familiar one. While James might say it's all Amy, Amy and James Fox were bitten by the mushroom bug and have not looked back since. I first recorded a MycoWizards episode with Amy in early 2021 when everything was far beyond uncertain. The winter was cold and the expansion plans were still there for all of us...just on a bit of an extended hold. While that first podcast recording was never released I knew I had to get Amy's whole story on record eventually: thus this episode and the formation of the East Coast MycoWizards Run of 2023!

I was on the way back from the El Diablo Run in Mexico when Mickey and Amy rolled through town and missed them by a couple of days of delayed travel so I count my lucky stars I got to jump on a zoom call to record this 3 hr cast with the Churchill Fellowship winner from down under!

I think I'd like to be the person that warns his friends about the addictive nature of commercial mushroom cultivation, but instead I seem to just increase the insanity and the stoke with all the power of the doom! This is the case for one Sean Mulkern, Cap N Stems very first employee. After traveling a great many miles from coast to coast he, and his lovely partner Cat, decided to take up the fine art of sleepless nights, spore lung and endless farmers market rabbit holes all for a taste of the greatly odd satisfaction that comes with perfecting the art of the fungal grow. Poor friends of mine, they never knew they had it coming. Ok, ok, it's not that dramatic...it turns out you can be successful in this industry and actually enjoy your first year in action, as Sean and Cat have done with their fungi-child @wildfruitings ... So go give them a follow and listen to their cries for help in this episode of the Mycowizards Podcast!!!!! Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! | |||

Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! Support the show and be automatically entered into our monthly giveaways exclusive to MycoWizards Members! Josh Googins of the one and only Fallen Oak Mycology is a man on a mission. A Mushroom cultivator driven by more than just supplying food to a system. Josh aims to bring a biotech element to his company that is currently based out of the down and dirty diddy that is Austin City! Josh has style and there is an element to his steez that is indescribably necessary for boardroom meetings with oil rigging executives who might just be convinced that there is a better way to be less harmful to the world at large in their profit driven spheres. The current mush-boom is seeing a lot of folks fighting to maintain a grasp on their false sense of exclusivity through popular identifiers set to defend a self built wall constructed like a permanent line between them and the industrial juggernauts of the world…while those folks are necessary, archetypes like Josh might be able to bridge a gap and implement what only the old school punks in an anarcho-daze could only dream of. Josh has lived many-o-lives and can see the waiver in the self sharpening blade of time to maintain a viewpoint from both sides of a coin. His creativity and stoke will ultimately make a large difference in this world, just you wait and see! Become A MycoWizard today and keep this show rolling over at www.mycowizards.com! | |||
