Mike, along with his wife Cara, own Wild Wise Botanicals. Their business focuses on foraging and growing native plants and mushrooms to promote wellness, and they want to share as much knowledge as they can with all of us about the medicinal properties of our natural world. To quote their website:
"We’re passionate about the plant and fungal allies we have encountered thus far, and we are devoted to producing extracts, salves, tea blends, mushrooms, and learning opportunities of the highest quality!"
Mike and I had a great discussion about his journey to fungal knowledge, as well as where you can catch him next. Check out all of the books, movies, and upcoming events we discussed below, and don't forget to JOIN the Missouri Mycological Society and follow Mike and Cara!
