153: Swapping Genetics on SporeSwaps: A One Stop Mushroom Vendor Mall

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review

This week we have on Controlled Chaos from Spore Swaps A passion for fungus emerged from the forest in 2014, when a classically trained mycologist trained us in the art of hunting for wild Psilocybes. After 7 years in the foraging realm, Controlled Chaos Genetics was founded in 2021 as a hobby during foraging down time in the winter, quickly evolving from an obsession with mycology to becoming a cultivator and genetics vendor. In 2023, I became the Director of Site Operation for SporeSwaps.com and in 2024 the host of the SporeSwaps Podcast. The company goal is to provide everyone the opportunity to learn about mycology, cultivation, and the health benefits of this amazing medicine. Life won’t always be perfect, you just have to control the chaos.
