Will MacHugh is a Washington state based mushroom farmer with a long standing background in the world of agriculture. He has grown fast and smart and he has noticed what a lot of us are too busy to do much about...the importation of extremely cheap shiitake logs from China. Will has assembled this website as well as this simple survey ... If you are a mushroom farmer in the US do us all a favor and FILL IT OUT! Together we can level the playing fields and bolster up the emerging domestic industry we have all worked tirelessly to build.

How do you say mushroom in french? They won't take husbands, but they will take farmers. Trust us, we tried. Also, buttons are better in other places. Apparently an infinite growth mindset does bad things to crops. Weird.

Tumultuous tariffs and other manure. Today's broadcast is all about poor leadership decisions from the top and how/why farmers need some buttressing for their sh*t umbrellas and a red ribbon road of loopholes to cartwheel through just to stay afloat. Beware the suits and grow your fruits, fam.

David Medlock of Highland Fungi has been sending me the most incredible papers and research articles on all things fungi over the entirety of 2024. He has an unwavering dedication to obsessively digging for details to generate solutions to extremely complicated issues in the cultivation of the 5th kingdom. With a background in all things fabrication David engineers solutions around the problems we all eventually encounter while growing commercial amounts of mushrooms. His detailed observations of the chaos and outlined mis-steps, allow him to map as he toils over the complex variations of options while working towards the Eureka moments. Undoubtably his discoveries lead him further down the rabbit hole. So commit his name to memory as I will likely drop it from time to time in emails and broadcasts and beyond as credit must always be given in this burgeoning industry!

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!

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.
