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!!!!!

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!

Where did it all begin I asked Marc R Keith...picking up a hitch hiker to score some dope exactly 50 years ago, Marc told me...and the tale goes on from there...50 years later Marc is bound to the west coast while he forges ahead through a 7 year battle to get back his property from backwoods thieves who forged every document imaginable to kick the widowed king of the shroomery off his own land. This is the land his fans know well, where Let's Grow Mushrooms was filmed, where the double barrel boiler/pasteurization system and the shipping container buried in the back hill still sit like earthen question marks in the geography. Marc is making corned beef on rye and we go right into it like we have known one another for a lifetime. Marc is as sharp as a buck knife under a blood moon. He has a grasp on the past, present and future like a fearless sailor set to sea bellowing Hold Fast like the knuckle bone plasma scratches of old. Harleys and tales of wild times bring out his smile, seemingly brighter and more dangerous than ever. The spirit of your hero RR is alive and well and he is ready to tell his story.

The road to finding the magical, mystical hero of a mycological OG that is Marc R Keith (Roger Rabbit) has been a wild one. We all have a bit of interloper syndrome in this life, especially when we are searching for someone we admire, someone who has been integral in getting us going, someone who possessed that nugget of info we needed to continue on, someone who inspired more than just you. That last fact is what has carried this MycoWizards Podcast project forward. I come from a line of dedicated educators and I think stories, real life stories, unadulterated and only filtered through open conversations can brighten the mind like learning a new subject for the very first time. Enter a recording device. Podcasts are everywhere and the ones that seem to hold the most magick are the ones that meander like the mind in time and space. Interviews are so much looser now. The style of Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Campbell has been expanded upon in interesting rivers that run wider and longer than the audience at hand. All in all, there are lessons over and over in the quick comments and displays of tales that seem too wild to be made up. This episode is my notes, my thoughts and really my first time just addressing the audience of the MycoWizards World as myself, Erik Lomen, unfiltered, unedited, in an attempt to translate the lead up to my first conversation with the master, RR. When you are young you often get asked the question: what three people would you like to have dinner with, dead or alive, and I’ve never been able to answer that, there are too many amazing people in this world and they're all invited to the feast! - Erik

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. Check him out and follow his work HERE!
