I have so much fun on ScaleUp Radio with my guests and I absolutely loved my conversation today with Zoe Henderson who is the founder of Fungtn – pronounced Function and Zoe explains the origins of the name.  Zoe is just such a lively personality and really passionate about what she does. And this is such an unusual idea, it seemed it to me anyway, because Zoe is on a journey of creating a brand around an alcohol free craft beer that's brewed with functional mushrooms. We talk about all different aspects of it, and the benefits of something called adaptogenic compounds that are found in functional mushrooms and how they work in line with the body's natural rhythms. But we had so much fun talking about this and then talking about the different parts of her journey so far.  Zoey started her business during lockdown, self funded with a small startup loan and some credit cards. Zoey then successfully launched the product initially through direct to consumer sales and then expanding into retail and on-trade raising angel investment crowdfunding scaling the business now to 200 independent stockists in the UK and with distribution in the US and Canada.  So some great success already, and we discuss all sorts of things like pricing point, market positioning, also things around the early stages of launching Fungtn including the importance for her focusing on DTC, partly driven by the changes around lockdown, but some key milestones around getting Planet Organic on board, the importance of LinkedIn to her.  All sorts of things that we discussed here is just action packed with benefits much like her drink, I think. so you're going to really enjoy this episode. so let's just go straight across and listen to the conversation with Zoe.   Zoe can be found here: linkedin.com/in/zoey-henderson-b9848b9a https://www.fungtn.com/ hello@fungtn.com https://www.instagram.com/fungtn.brewing/   Resources: Fantastic Fungi on Netflix - https://www.netflix.com/title/81183477 Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets - https://www.waterstones.com/book/mycelium-running/paul-stamets/9781580085793 Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake - https://www.waterstones.com/book/entangled-life/merlin-sheldrake/9781784708276 The Mushroom Hour - https://www.welcometomushroomhour.com/blogs/podcasts Mushroom Revival - https://www.mushroomrevival.com/blogs/podcast Google Maps - https://www.google.co.uk/maps   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

On this episode, we're gettin' down and dirty with sheet mulch. Sheet mulching is a no-till, no-dig gardening practice of removing unwanted vegetation and building fertile soil by layering organic matter and letting it compost in place. While the layers suppress weeds by blocking sunlight, subterranean soil biology goes to work to break down the layers into new soil. The beauty of this simple practice is that you can do it at any time of year with materials you have on hand (like cardboard, shredded paper, and leaves) or can source for free from local sources (arborist wood chips, coffee grounds, and spent mushroom substrate). We discuss the reasons for sheet mulching, when and how to do it, and what to use. Then we dive into the corrugated controversy around cardboard and ponder the role of science in gardening.  Mentioned in this episode: “Pocket Prairies with John Hart Asher” (Horticulturati podcast episode, 2022); JHA pocket prairies ep of Horticulturati; Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture by Toby Hemenway (2001); “Fungal Vision with Daniel Reyes” (Hothouse podcast episode, 2018); Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets (2005); Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis (2006); “Mulches: The Good, The Bad, and the Really, Really Ugly” by Dr. Linda Chalker Scott (presentation to the Clackamas County Master Gardeners, 2019); “The Cardboard Controversy” by Chalker-Scott (Garden Professors blog, 2015); “Permaculture - More Concerns” by Chalker-Scott (Garden Professors blog, 2010).

“The time to act is now. Waiting for science and society to wake up to the importance of these ancient Old Growth fungi is perilously slow and narrow in vision.” So says PAUL STAMETS, invested explorer, mycologist, researcher and over all very COOL visionary. His book is Mycelium Running fungi.com

In this episode, Dan talks with Aaron Mears from Lulu's Perch Permaculture. They discuss what permaculture is, how and why Aaron got involved and even start to go into BioDynamics a little. Aaron is a Permaculture teacher and consultant on the Sunshine Coast who strives to build self-sufficient food growing gardens across the world. He is the manager of Lulu's Perch Permaculture Farm that he runs with his family, and has documented his gardening journey on his YouTube Channel. In 5 years, he has converted a 5-acre ornamental property into a thriving permaculture farm with market gardens, food forests, animal systems, compost engine rooms, bio char and microbe brewing. Aaron began his gardening journey as a nurse, then became a teacher and then found himself growing food in the Jordanian desert with renowned permaculturalist Geoff Lawton. He has recently begun sharing his knowledge and experience with people; teaching them how to design, build and maintain their own nutrient dense gardens on his Permaculture Design Course. Also, with an awesome team of teachers, Aaron and his friends are taking it to the next level by introducing permaculture to the public school system with the “Living Classroom Project” and teaching children as young as 5 how to grow their own food and be self-sufficient. The revolutionary program is now 18 years old and is growing from strength to strength and has attracted the attention of educators and businesses from around the world. Aaron believes that the only way to secure the future of the human race is to teach children how to reconnect with nature, grow their own organic food and get their hands back in the soil.

Henri used the garden as a metaphor for life. He wrote, “Before my history can teach anybody anything, or even interest myself, it must be disentangled from its materials, distilled and simplified. These thousands of pages are but the pile of leaves and bark from which the essence has still to be extracted. A whole forest of cinchonas are worth but one cask of quinine. A whole Smyrna rose-garden goes to produce one vial of perfume.” Henri also recognized the healing power of nature. On June 3, 1849, he wrote, “Come, kind nature, smile and enchant me! Veil from me awhile my own griefs and those of others; let me see only the folds of thy queenly mantle, and hide all miserable and ignoble things from me under thy bounties and splendors!” On April 29, 1852, Henri wrote about his spring garden. “I went out into the garden to see what progress the spring was making. I strolled from the irises to the lilacs, round the flower-beds, and in the shrubberies.  Reverie is the Sunday of thought; It is like a bath which gives vigor and suppleness… to the mind as to the body; the banquet of the butterfly wandering from flower to flower over the hills and in the fields. And remember, the soul too is a butterfly.” And also,  in this passage, Henri famously advised, “A modest garden contains, for those who know how to look and to wait, more instruction than a library.”   May 11, 1928 On this day, Abel Aken Hunter shared some of his orchid collection at the Third Annual National Orchid Show held at Madison Square Garden. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported: "A mile of orchids, representing every known variety and worth more than $1,000,000 may be seen in the exhibit."  Abel Aken Hunter’s entry was specifically mentioned as, "Another extraordinary collection in the show was brought from the jungles of Central America by A. A. Hunter of Balboa, Panama."  In a biography of Abel’s older brother, it was mentioned that all the kids in the Hunter family were, "born naturalists, for they knew all the birds and many of the plants and insects around Lincoln, [Nebraska]." Incidentally, Abel studied botany at the University of Nebraska. And like many botanists of his time, he fit his passion for botany around his career. He’d been working for the United States Postal Service since he was 15 years old and Abel’s 30-year Post Office career facilitated his collecting efforts all through his life. In 1906, Abel transferred to the post office in the Canal Zone in Panama. The move was perfect for Abel; his pay jumped to $1,250 a month, and he was smack dab in the middle of a botanical paradise. The year 1910 brought a fateful friend to Abel: the amateur horticulturist and nurse Charles Powell. And although Charles was two decades older than Abel, the two men got on famously. In addition to their love of botany, they shared a passion for fishing. Once, while they were fishing, they spied an incredible sight. Abel is recorded as saying, "Look, Powell – orchids! Oodles of orchids! Treefuls of orchids! Let's get some of 'em." That day, they brought home a "boat-load of orchids," and the orchids made their way to collectors across the globe. A few years later, after the Canal work in Gorgona wrapped up, both Abel and Charles transferred to Balboa. In Balboa, Abel and Charles coordinated their vacation requests to accommodate their botanizing trips in Panama. In the meantime, Charles created a special relationship with the Missouri Botanical Garden and he sent them 7,000 plants. In return, MOBOT established a Tropical Station in Balboa and Charles Powell served as its first director. Abel succeeded him, and during their tenure, the Station became a jewel in the crown of MOBOT. By the mid-1920s, Abel was collecting with MOBOT experts like George Harry Pring, who recalled, "To obtain… new species it is necessary to climb the 'barrancas' [steep, rocky slopes], ford streams, cut one's way through the jungle, and hunt for the coveted orchid, and it is truly a hunt. Abel's sharp eyes detected almost everything within range." A week before Thanksgiving in 1934, the Director of Mobot sent a party of three researchers, including Paul Allen, down to work with Abel; their primary mission was to find where the Sobralia powellii orchid originated. Abel's gut told him it would be near the headwaters of the river they were exploring. For three days, they made their way through rapids and a tropical rainstorm. Nothing went their way and they were ready to give up. As they were standing at the edge of a natural pool near the crater of an ancient volcano, Paul decided to jump in for a swim. As he climbed out, Paul's journal records this fantastical moment: "Climbing out [of the pool] on the opposite side my astonished gaze was met by a plant with great milky white buds nearly ready to open. The long-sought prize, Sobralia powellii, had been found. Its native home was no longer a mystery." Paul Allen called this area "a garden of orchids" and would not disclose the exact location. Abel and Paul found hundreds of small orchids in this spot; incredibly, many were even new to Abel. It was a veritable orchid treasure trove. This trip was everything to Abel. He had been diagnosed with intestinal cancer and it would be his final orchid hunt. When it was clear he could not go on, Paul brought Abel to a hospital in Panama City, where he died on April 6, 1935. Paul Allen finished the expedition alone. After his death, Abel's wife, Mary, operated the station at Balboa for 18 months until, fittingly, Paul Allen was appointed Director. Paul Allen traveled to Balboa with his new bride, Dorothy. They had been married for ten days. As for Abel Aken Hunter, many orchids have been named in his honor, including the Coryanthes Hunteranum, or the Golden Bucket orchid.   May 11, 2020 It was on this day that a botanist discovered the wreckage of a CIA plane that crashed in January 1952 in Death Valley. The botanist was filming his hike in the valley - sharing the various specimens he encountered. I shared the film in the Facebook group for the show. In the film, the plane is initially seen in the distance. It’s only after the botanist researches the wreckage that the story of plane becomes clear. Air Live reported that, “It turned out the plane has been there for 68 years. In January 1952 [the] SA-16 Albatross was flying from Idaho to San Diego supporting classified CIA Cold War operations when its left engine caught fire over Death Valley, California and the plane began losing altitude and velocity. The pilot gave the order to evacuate the plane and all 6 people on board jumped out the back door! They parachuted and safely landed 14 miles north of Furnace Creek which they then hiked to.”   Unearthed Words Whether working in the yard or just going about the daily business of life, you are continually adjusting, trimming, touching, shaping, and tinkering with the wealth of things around you. It may be difficult for you to know when to stop. We are all torn between the extremes of taking care of things and leaving them alone, and we question whether many things could ever get along without us. We find ourselves with pruning shears in hand, snipping away at this or that, telling ourselves that we're only being helpful, redefining something else's space, removing that which is unappealing to us. It's not that we really want to change the world. We just want to fix it up slightly. We'd like to lose a few pounds or rid ourselves of some small habit. Maybe we'd like to help a friend improve his situation or repair a few loose ends in the lives of our children. All of this shaping and controlling can have an adverse effect. Unlike someone skilled in the art of bonsai gardening, we may *unintentionally* stunt much natural growth before it occurs. And our meddling may not be appreciated by others. Most things will get along superbly without our editing, fussing, and intervention. We can learn to just let them be. As a poem of long ago puts it, "In the landscape of spring, the flowering branches grow naturally, some are long, some are short.” ― Gary Thorp, Sweeping Changes: Discovering the Joy of Zen in Everyday Tasks   Grow That Garden Library Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets This book came out in 2005, and the subtitle is How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World In this book, Paul shares the power of mushrooms and how growing mushrooms is the best way to save the environment. As Paul explains, “The basic science goes like this: Microscopic cells called “mycelium”--the fruit of which are mushrooms--recycle carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements as they break down plant and animal debris in the creation of rich new soil.” Paul is passionate about using mycelium to tackle everything from toxic wastes and pollutants, silt in streambeds, pathogens in watersheds, pest control, and general forest and garden health.   This book is 356 pages of myco-restoration - using mycelium and mushrooms for restoration and environmental health.

It was the first American museum established by a living artist for the display of his own work. A modernist sculptor and designer, Isamu founded and designed the museum in a repurposed 1920s red brick industrial building. The two-story Museum contains approximately 27,000 square feet of exhibition space and includes a sculpture garden. The beautiful Zen Garden can also be spied from the staircase exit on the second floor. It was the Japanese-American artist, Isamu Noguchi who said, When the time came for me to work with larger spaces, I conceived them as gardens, not as sites with objects but as relationships to a whole. The art of stone in a Japanese garden is that of placement. Its ideal does not deviate from that of nature. And he also had two other sayings that can be applied to the work of garden designers. When an artist stops being a child, he stops being an artist. We are a landscape of all we have seen.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Landfills are, well, filling up. We’re running out of places to put our trash, and the trash we’ve landfilled won’t decompose for centuries.  But, what if we could take a lot of trash and seed it with fungal cultures that would eat it and render it no longer toxic within just a few weeks rather than having to wait centuries? That’s exactly what Mycocycle is planning to do, and we’ve got their CEO, Joanne Rodriguez, on the show to talk about it. After a decades-long career in construction, Joanne founded Mycocycle and with her team has been training fungi to eat construction trash, especially asphalt, and plan to sell that service to municipalities and landfills. As if that weren’t enough, she then plans to take the fungi mycelium they’ve grown and sell it as a biodegradable packaging material. Pretty cool, huh? Well, what might be even cooler is that you yourself can invest in Joanne’s company right now! Normally, startups on this show are only seeking funding from deep pocketed venture capital firms. But Mycocycle is taking a different approach, seeking to raise their first round from hundreds of individuals via StartupEngine.com, with a minimum investment of only $262.  So take a listen to the company and the mycelium that Joanne is growing. It’s an impressive story, and one that might even involve you! Discussed in this episode You can invest in Mycocycle here! Mycocyle went through the LatinX incubator. Mycocycle’s pending patent application. Joanne was inspired by Daniel’s story. Joanne recommends books like Mycelium Running and Radical Mycology We reference past episodes with Coral Vita, Ecovative, and Bolt Threads. More about Joanne Rodriguez Founder and CEO of Mycocycle, Joanne Rodriguez has worked across the construction products industry for 30 years. She is a subject matter expert in sustainable technologies–like zero waste and the circular economy, and she has experience leading diverse teams to unprecedented growth. Leading the sustainability efforts for a major roof manufacturer, Joanne discovered the issue of the unsustainable and growing problems related to disposing of construction and demolition materials. A frequent national speaker, she carries a vast network of contacts across manufacturing, architecture and design, government leadership, and sustainability. She has served on boards with the US EPA, the Constructions Specification Institute, the US Green Building Council, and has served as a subject matter expert at convenings of the United Nations, Clinton Global Initiative, ecoAmerica, GreenBiz, and Resilient Cities Summits.

Well, first, Sandee and Callie give us a little background on what safe ingredients ARE in their products and what makes them so effective. They share what we can look for in brands and ingredient labels as well as places where we can do credible, trustworthy research (yep, you read that right!). What they have to share about using products that come in solid form instead of liquid form (both for us and for the planet) is going to rock your world - you won't be able to look at that bottle of shampoo the same ever again! I told you before that the three of us go down a few rabbit holes during this interview, and you'll see that that continues here, especially as Sandee and Callie give us recommendations on things they're loving right now. They have some great ideas for books and shows that you can add to your quarantine bucket-list as well as some very valuable information on one of my favorite funguses - mushrooms. I learned so much from Sandee and Callie and I know you will too. I'm so grateful as a consumer that there are ladies like them running ethical, sustainable and conscientious businesses for the good of us all.

"Come on Voq, let your body move to a human!" Mit "Der Wolf im Inneren" wird endlich das am Schlechtesten gehütete Geheimnis des "Star Trek Discovery"-Universums bestätigt und das Voq / Ash Tyler Mysterium aufgelöst. Aber nach der Fantheorie ist vor der Fantheorie und so bringt ein süffisantes Lächeln von Jason Isaacs ein weiteres, vielversprechendes Gedankenspiel zum Überkochen. Unser Podcast-Panel ist sich über die Qualität der elften Episode äußerst uneinig, freut sich aber über die Grundlagen, die sie für die weiteren Folgen legt. Nicht nur, weil die letzte Szene den Schleier über den Emperor der Terraner lüftet, sondern weil Michael Burnham endgültig der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen wurde. Bonus: ein kurzer Blick in das Buch "Mycelium Running" des echten Paul Stamets, das die Grundlage für die Auferstehung von Dr. Culber liefern könnte. Musik: „Please Listen Carefully“ von Jahzzar

Paul Stamets, the visionary biologist, mycologist and author of Mycelium Running, reveals astonishing evidence of how nature's solutions surpass our conception of what's possible to radially restore ecosystems and human health.
