Cory Nellissen of HiFi Mycology has unbounded devotion to the exploration of his mycological endeavors. The study and systematization of mushroom cultivation demands patience, a quality one must possess in spades to make a go at the commercial cultivation game. Some days it feels like competition is closing in and other days it feels like you are in an oasis all of your own creation and you have brought the manna machine to the people! But the myco-machine requires constant analysis and maintenance to crank out the new age “flavor-aid” that is gourmet mushrooms. There is a kinesthetic motion once must maintain for a semblance of control over biological organisms and this requires no time to even entertain the ideas of defeat...remove that word from your vocabulary and soldier on. Dive back into old grow-logs, identify with the struggle of shroomery usernames and recognize the fight will be constant if you can’t achieve a balance in working with these single celled organisms! If you make it this far, you’ll know just where Cory is at, just where most masters of mycology are at and you will be a MycoWizard maintaining a myco-manna-machine all your own.

Andrew Collier Reed: I’m fascinated by these radical myco-cats know by 3 names and there are a few...I know it’s largely a facebook phenomenon, but every time I heard his name mentioned, years before we had a solid back and forth, I heard all three names, like an ancient elder-futhark chant of sorts...and Andrew, he is an ancient soul, glued to runes and science fiction and their large projections on a immensely imaginative universe that’s conclusive in its own right and dedicated to the mission, no matter how mysterious it may seem when uttered out loud. Andrew and his myco-family have built a wildly interesting and successful system with their Mossback Syndicate. They generated the ultimate in low-tech methods to facilitate their associates' growth and have allowed support and growth of other companies around them to impact their sustainability in a positive way. Andrew’s Mossy Creek team might single handedly bring about substantial changes in the areas of phenotype development with their breeding programs and investment in liquid culture. While we don’t talk about it a ton in this conversation his King Blue strain has become so popular that it’s shadowed long standing phenos myco-farmers have depended on for decades...and that fact is true innovation at the microscopic beginnings of this entire world of mycology.

Aron Gonsalves and I go back to the beginning in this conversation. We recorded one evening at his farm house in southern Maine, almost empty and fully packed up, as he and his wonderfully kind wife Laura were about to embark on a journey to their new home with new beginnings in mind, down south away from the frozen north. Aron is a hustler, a gear grinder, a motorhead and a nerd on a lot of levels kin to myself. When I first heard a mycologist from Hawaii was coming to Maine, my young myco-entrepreneurial feathers were ruffled and it sort of gave me a kick in the ass to hustle harder and faster and really it was for good reason as you’ll come to discover in this episode. Aron has a fire in him that is admirable and after a decade of talking mycology constantly (and motorcycles not frequently enough) i realized how rare it is to communicate with comrades in the same industry as yourself day in and out and just how much forward momentum can be achieved from working closely together in a growing industry. Our friendship and working relationship was and is without a doubt a primary motivator for this podcast and I hope it inspires you and your fellow mycophiles to communicate and build momentum together like more than one magnetic weight on a true wheel barrowing down the dawn with fire, grit and teeth aglow!
