Roger is a pioneer in the field of Mycology, having dedicated over a decade of his life to perfecting the art and science of extraction, concentration, and product formulation. These medicinal mushrooms saved his life and led him on a personal journey of discovery, which he credits with transforming his life, and thus sparked a relentless pursuit of knowledge in mycology, alchemy, and sustainable agriculture. Holding a degree in Sustainable Agriculture and deeply immersed in the study of mycology since 2012, Roger combines cutting-edge scientific techniques with ancient wisdom from alchemy and the esoteric arts to craft the most potent and bioavailable mushroom products on the market. His passion for sustainability and quality is evident in every step of the process, from sourcing the finest ingredients to meticulously refining extraction methodologies.Ken has spent over 24 years immersed in holistic medicine, permaculture, and mycology. A visionary in the culinary and functional mushroom industry, he founded three mushroom companies, including the Chicago Mushroom Company where Ken raised the bar in culinary mushroom cultivation as the primary supplier of premium mushrooms for fine dining in Chicago before partnering with Roger Holden to focus on the healing power of medicinal fungi. Guided by fungi as his greatest teacher, Ken has studied with legends like Paul Stamets, Peter McCoy and Robert Rogers. His passion lies in cultivating mushrooms, educating others, and advancing the transformative potential of fungi to heal individuals and communities alike.Fruiting Bodies was born from passion, experience, and a shared vision to create the highest quality functional mushroom products. It is the culmination of two unique journeys that led Roger and Ken to a powerful partnership dedicated to health, sustainability, and the transformative power of mushrooms.Roger's path to functional mushrooms was deeply personal. As a child, he faced severe digestive issues and was prescribed a myriad of pharmaceutical drugs, only to see his health deteriorate further. In high school, he suffered from an extreme case of mononucleosis that left him bedridden for over a year, leading to depression, chronic fatigue, and a slew of other health complications. He struggled with ADHD, concussions, Lyme disease, and the side effects of prescription medications. It wasn't until he discovered functional mushrooms—starting with Reishi—that his life began to change. Seeking affordable and effective natural solutions, he started making his own tinctures, and soon, his symptoms began to fade. By the time he returned to college, he was in the best shape of his life. His journey led him to study sustainable agriculture and food production, work with industry leaders like Tradd Cotter, and eventually launch his own functional mushroom company, Mushroom Magic LLC, in 2020. With a mission to provide clean, ethical, and potent mushroom supplements, Roger dedicated himself to bridging ancient knowledge with modern applications.Ken's journey took a different but equally powerful route. For much of his early life, he struggled with unhealthy habits, chronic pain, and an overall disconnection from true wellness. He spent years caught in patterns of stress, poor health, and survival mode until a dramatic shift in his late 30s led him to rediscover himself. Through personal transformation, Ken became obsessed with health, wellness, and the interconnectedness of soil, food, and community. His studies in horticulture, permaculture, and sustainable agriculture deepened his appreciation for mushrooms—not just as food or medicine, but as a crucial component of ecological restoration. Ken started growing mushrooms, launched Chicago Mushroom Company, and worked with chefs, environmentalists, and urban agriculture pioneers to bring mushrooms to the forefront of sustainable food and medicine. His frustration with the low quality of many functional mushroom products on the market fueled his desire to find a partner who shared his commitment to potency, sustainability, and integrity.That's when Ken heard Roger's interview on the Mycopreneur Podcast. Immediately, he knew he had to reach out. Their first conversation lasted nearly seven hours—an in-depth discussion about mushrooms, health, sustainability, and their aligned visions for the future. They quickly realized they were not only kindred spirits but also the perfect partners to revolutionize the functional mushroom industry.From this meeting of minds and missions, Fruiting Bodies was born. Merging Mushroom Magic and Chicago Mushroom Company, Ken and Roger set out to create the most potent, effective, and ethically sourced mushroom products on the market. Every tincture, extract, and supplement they produce is rooted in science, tradition, and a commitment to people and the planet. Fruiting Bodies is more than just a brand; it is a movement dedicated to healing, education, and empowerment.Ken and Roger's story is one of resilience, discovery, and purpose. Together, they continue to push the boundaries of functional mushrooms, ensuring that the products they offer are not just good—but truly life-changing.Episode Highlights▶ How Roger's health struggles led him to discover mushrooms, while Ken transitioned from a corporate background to a passion for them▶ Why mushroom essences work on the shadow aspects of ourselves, and how trusting yourself is key in the healing journey▶ How mushrooms are safe, but introspection is important when using them for healing, which is both physical and emotional▶ How functional mushrooms are becoming mainstream in health products, with mushrooms being the original medicines, not alternatives▶ How mushroom essences enhance dream work and integration, and education is crucial for consumers to make informed choices.▶ How quality extraction methods are vital for mushroom efficacy, and mushrooms have the potential to heal both people and the environment▶ How the mushroom market is unregulated and chaotic, but how mushrooms can help with micro-remediation and environmental cleanup▶ Personalized approaches to mushroom use are essential for maximizing their benefitsKen Mycelium and Roger Holden's Links & Resources▶ Website: www.fruitingbodies.co▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fruitingbodies.co▶ Instagram: https://www.instgram.com/fruitingbodies.co  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz ▶ Join the free Psychedelics & Purpose Community: / psychedelicsandsacredmedicines

We're replaying some of our favorite episodes from the back catalog of the Holistic Herbalism Podcast. In this one, originally aired as episode 142 on 11/6/2020, we highlight four of our favorite fungi: shiitake, maitake, reishi, & lion's mane.Essentially all medicinal mushrooms share some features of interest herbalists. Famously, they can modulate immune responses – boosting immune surveillance and efficiency, while reducing excessive inflammatory or autoimmune expressions. Some mushrooms can also have adaptogenic activity, improving our endurance, resilience, and fluidity of response to stressors. And some mushrooms (more than you might expect, actually) can even help regenerate damaged or diseased nerve tissue, and protect the nervous system. Sounds pretty good, right? Listen for the full story.Mentioned in this episode:Herbal Revolution – our friend Kathi Langelier's new herbal recipe book – you can pre-order your copy today!

The ‘Murdaugh Murders' crime and corruption saga marched on this week with new indictments handed down in connection with the financial crimes component of the investigation. Indictments were issued against the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank, Russell Laffitte – the first time he has been criminally charged – while additional indictments were handed down against alleged co-conspirator Cory Fleming and Alex Murdaugh himself.The civil side of the the case also continued via a contentious court hearing in Lexington County. The court appointed receivers in the matter — attorneys John T. Lay and Peter McCoy – argued in front of S.C. circuit court judge Daniel Hall as to why they should be allowed to continue controlling Murdaugh's assets prior to the resolution of the pending litigation.Murdaugh's attorneys — including “bulldogs” Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin — have been “pulling out all the stops to regain full control of Alex's finances.”We reported a lot of drug news this week, too, managing to piss off both the left and the right in doing so …SHOW NOTES …MURDAUGH MURDERSState Grand Jury Indicts Former Bank CEO Russell Laffitte.

If the fungus spreads out from plant to planet, say on the voyager spacecraft or from meteorites and asteroids then it can replicate. The fungus might need to evolve humans to create spacecraft to send itself to new planets and places. It certainly has traveled to all 6 continents. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12312068_Evolution_Terrestrial_life--fungal_from_the_start https://open.lbry.com/@Permaculture:e/radical-mycology-with-peter-mccoy-a:d https://odysee.com/@R-Future-Our-Regenerative-Future:d/Day-3-Mycology---The-Future-with-Peter-McCoy:9?&sunset=lbrytv https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aab1161 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pld3.369?af=R https://friedmanlab.oeb.harvard.edu/files/friedmanlab/files/2009_winther_friedman_psilotum_nudum.pdf https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30253017/ There have been horizontal gene transfers between the fungus and the plants and bacteria it lives with. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2018.00701/full "In addition, the MRE genomes harbor genes horizontally acquired from AMF" The bacteria inside the fungus has its dna modified by the fungus. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25964324/ "However, evidence strongly suggests that nuclei can be genetically divergent within an AMF individual." https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/4a52/65e582620cbc633cff8fb1a197859be124c0.pdf that means its true the dna is different inside a single fungi The basic idea here is that the AM fungus could possibly contain dna samples of many lifeforms it encounters and would act as a living genebank and able to inject dna into other cells directly. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/stre/message

In this episode I record live from the production facility of Feral Fungi and have an in-depth conversation with it's owner...Jason Scott. Jason has had a lifelong passion for mycology which evolved into his ownership of this unique company and also as a teacher of the many facets of the mushroom. Jason and I talk about what makes his products special, and what the spagyric process entails.. We also talk about 'AlcheMycology' and the bourgeoning mainstream psychedelic mushroom acceptance.. Drop In!www.feralfungi.comJason Scott Bio: Jason Scott is a Mycologist, Ethnobotanist and Spagyricist who has studied traditional Hermetic Alchemy, from history and philosophy to practice, for the past 9 years. He has a background in Ethnobotany and Plant Medicine that started on the Big Island of Hawaii, and has carried back with him into his home: the Pacific Northwest. Born and raised in Oregon, Jason has an intrinsic interest in the Fungal Queendom and all of its aspects: from cultivation and mycoremediation, to historical and cultural relationships. Jason has studied various different healing modalities including Ayurveda in Nepal and Western Herbalism all over Oregon and Washington. He is on an ever-deepening journey of education to understand the practical applications of his interests, and the golden threads that connect them.  Jason has been published on the topic of AlcheMycology, exploring fungi through traditional Alchemy in Radical Mycology by Peter McCoy and Verdant Gnosis Volume 3, compiled by Jenn Zahrt, Catamara Rosarium, and Marcus McCoy. He has taught through these topics all over the United States. He is the Founder and Owner of Feral Fungi where he produces Mushroom Spagyric Tinctures, and curator of AlcheMycology.com where he shares some of his teachings and writings along side other fascinating discoveries in the world of Fungi.

Topics include mushroom cultivation, soil health, bioremediation, medicinal mushrooms and more. Email Leif: Mycoscapes@gmail.com In this creative exploration of applied ecology, fungi, and mycoremediation, Environmental scientist & educator (and good friend!) Leif Olson takes us on a journey of understanding fungi, how they function in the environment, mycoremediation and the importance of diversity and holism in approaching challenges of environmental degradation. He also gives us simple, actionable steps for how we can all bolster the health of the environment where we live! The first part of the episode builds out our knowledge and framework for understanding why the actionable steps at the end will work, and at 48:00 is where he gives us specific steps to bolster our local environments, so if you're just looking for that, skip there!

They're a crucial part of cycling organic material and helping plants acquire nutrients Fungi & Mycorrhizae as the multiple internets of the soil (not a single internet!). They're sometimes collaborating, sometimes competing - what they're working towards overall is nutrients to be acquired out of the soil, as well as soil to be built. The fungi we have inside us: Yeasts! Endophytes: fungi that live inside plants and assist them with various processes, examples and explanation of endophytes doing their thing Mycoremediation: facilitating a compled chain of reactions, and a diversity of fungi & bacteria help tackle challenging & complex contaminants. Doing this work in the “real world” is very site specific, and differs greatly from reality of laboratory testing The importance of holism/a holistic approach in bioremediation: not constraining out thinking a a single methodology or kingdom of life. These are complex systems with many variables, and the phyto-, myco-, and bacterial parts are all important for approaching environmental degradation. 48:00 Practical things everyone can do to boost their ecology where they live Covering the soil! Barren soil dries out a lot faster, and microorganisms can't perform their functions when dry. Naked soil gets oxidized, meaning the nutrients get burned up and released as gas (!). Then, when bare soil is rained on, the water compacts the soil and basically crushes the passageways/cavities microorganisms would live in and/or plant roots would grow in. Mulch to create a hospitable environment for soil microorganisms! 2. Dialing in the type of mulch: woody plant material or leaves that's aged naturally colonizes with the fungi that's around the environment or in it. Keeping tabs on the organic matter on your site is important! Seeing organic matter as future soil and treating it like the resource it is. 3. is remineralizing soil but I ran out of space to put the steps!

In this episode, we not only deep dive into the queendom of Fungi but rediscover how to live a life driven with curiosity. Sharad is a self-taught multidisciplinary citizen scientist, researcher, and science communicator, with a keen interest in mycology and its applications. We talk about Fungi, mycology, biomaterials, the future of education, but this conversation is so much more. To read more about Sharad and complete show notes, click

Peter McCoy wrote the book Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With Fungi and founded Mycologos, the world's first school dedicated to all that mushrooms, lichens, and micro fungi can offer. He wants to inspire a new generation of mycologists to help heal the world. He is a wealth of knowledge on all things fungi and we discussed climate applications, psychedelic mushrooms and nutrition. I believe in the power of plants and I also believe in the power of fungi.

Most of us know very little about fungi in contrast to their vast presence and integral role in our world. Sometimes called, "the earth's internet" fungi, specifically mycelium connect literally everything. They are the ultimate recyclers, decomposing and upcycling waste into food, medicine, building materials, and more.  Our guest, Peter McCoy recognized his passion for fungi while still in high school. Around that same time, he also began to recognize the profound lack of education and awareness around them.  Peter's personal journey to learn about this mysterious and integral kingdom led him to eventually write the most comprehensive singular work on fungi to date.  His book, "Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With Fungi" has sparked events, film fests, online educational tools, and a startup called Mycocycle.  We asked Perter many questions in this ep and learned, we have so much more to learn about these incredible (sometimes edible) organisms. Links from the ep:Reishi Ginger Turmeric Beer RecipeMycocycleRadical Mycology WebsiteMycologosFungi Film Fest 

Life as we know it would be much different if it weren’t for the mysterious and miraculous mycelium. Such an impressive entity, so different than most life on earth. This fungus can destroy and give life simultaneously. Mycelium helps soil by breaking down organic matter, keeping moisture in the soil, and helping to prevent erosion. ---------------------------------- About Rachel Rachel Jessee, originally from Reno, NV has recently returned to the region after over a decade of exploring different cultures, climates and lifestyles. She currently practices regenerative agriculture and subsistence farming at Rosewater Ranch, a rural ranch just outside of Reno. Most recently she returned from two years in Morocco where she implemented and managed a 5 hectare permaculture garden within an operating 10 hectare organic olive grove and where she was also curating an on-site artist residency. There she gained priceless experience in growing food in an arid environment which has cultivated her newest passion in soil health. She is currently enrolled in Peter McCoy’s “Mycologos” course – the world’s first extensive course dedicated solely to mycology and is also a student of Harvard’s Extension School program pursuing a degree in environmental studies with a focus in agro-ecology.

There she gained priceless experience in growing food in an arid environment which has cultivated her newest passion in soil health. She is currently enrolled in Peter McCoy’s “Mycologos” course – the world’s first extensive course dedicated solely to mycology and is also a student of Harvard’s Extension School program pursuing a degree in environmental studies with a focus in agro-ecology.

One of the members of the soil ecology that is mentioned on a generalized note is fungi. Although we recognize their importance, there aren’t a lot of specifics tied to mycology—and that’s because there’s still a lot we don’t know about them.  As a branch of science, mycology is still relatively new and a lot less studied compared to other fields of study. Today, we have mycologist Peter McCoy to shed some more light on fungi from a deeply mycological perspective. Peter McCoy is a mycologist and mycology educator with 17 years of experience. Known for mushroom cultivation and mycological remediation, he authored Radical Mycology, a 650-page book of condensed knowledge about fungi. He also created Mycologos in response to the growing need for accessible mycological education.

Yes, they are herbs too! Medicinal mushrooms are an important part of our herbal practice, but it looks like we haven’t profiled them on the podcast before today – so it’s time to correct that lapse. In this episode we’ll look at some of the key activities of four of our favorite fungi: shiitake (Lentinula edodes), maitake (Grifola frondosa), reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), and lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus).Essentially all medicinal mushrooms share some features of interest to the herbalist. Famously, they can modulate immune responses – boosting immune surveillance and efficiency, while reducing excessive inflammatory or autoimmune expressions. Some mushrooms can also have adaptogenic activity, improving our endurance, resilience, and fluidity of response to stressors. And some mushrooms (more than you might expect, actually) can even help regenerate damaged or diseased nerve tissue, and protect the nervous system. Sounds pretty good, right? Listen in for the full story.Mentioned in this episode:Herbal Revolution – our friend Kathi Langelier’s new herbal recipe book – you can pre-order your copy today!

This week we speak with Peter McCoy, Founder of Mycologos [https://mycologos.world/pages/founder], the world's first mycology school, and Founder and Creative Director of Radical Mycology, a mushroom and fungi advocacy foundation. He and host Carry Kim discuss the grassroots movement and social philosophy behind using regenerative natural mushroom farming to promote ecological restoration and create food and medicines. Fungi are everywhere—in soil and air, flowing waters, on and within plants and animals, in food and clothing, and in the human body. Humans have partnered with fungi since the first loaf of leavened bread was baked and the first tub of grape must was turned into wine. Ancient peoples put the ravages of fungi to work in agriculture. Radical Mycology seeks to forge transformative relationships between humans and fungi, seeing lichens as indicators of environmental health, and understanding the profound influences that fungi have held on the evolution of all life and human cultures. By symbiotically relating with fungi, we can engage in ecological restoration, myco-permaculture, mycoremediation after fire and oil spills, fermenting fungi for food, and promoting fungi medicines for the benefit of generations to come. Peter McCoy is a mycology educator and farmer, author, and artist from Portland, Oregon. He is the visioneer behind the first annual Fungi Film Festival. In 2016, Peter published the book ‘Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing and Working With Fungi’ [https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Mycology-Treatise-Seeing-Working/dp/0986399604] detailing his nearly two decades of experience in promoting fungi for the health of people and the planet.

Our guest this week was the activist, educator, artist and innovative mycologist Peter McCoy. Peter is the self published author of Radical Mycology (2016), a massively comprehensive and in depth look at fungi and its many contexts at multiple levels including agro ecology, bio remediation, medicine, food, cultivation and the various cultures surrounding fungi. Seeing another unfulfilled global need, and within one year after his book release, Peter founded Mycologos, the worlds first dedicated school for all things mycology, and the next iteration of his mission to bring to light and share the amazing keystone ecological element of fungi. For the last 17 years Peter has been an advocate and an educator for understand the significance of fungi and its connection to basically everything ecologically speaking, including us. His work has featured in numerous news and media outlets and documentaries. Peter is also the lead mycologist at Mycocycle a Chicago based bio remediation firm, and an advisor to various other platforms. With more and more people awakening to the importance of understanding and working in alignment with ecological processes and cycles, his passion for communication and going deep into the rabbit hole of this elusive world brings us into an ever closer relationship with the indefinable and infinitely complex intelligence within our global ecologies and nature itself. Peter also hosts; Radical Mycology, a blog site to showcase blogs, art and other eclectic content, and the radical mycology convergence, a physical culmination of several years of Peters first project into Mycology, a humble zine of the same name, made just for friends. Facebook page is HERE, and HERE. and a new film festival one HERE. I really enjoyed this interview, and we covered a LOT of ground regarding fungi, and its many contexts, and of Peter's personal passions and insights in his journey. We also deep dive into the utility of the learning of fungi as a tool for personal transformation. I have always thought of the fungal world as the element of communication and connection in whole ecologies, and rightly the keystone 'piece' of the whole because of it.. It was amazing to hear this echoed by someone so deeply immersed and learned in the subject. With Peter McCoy "immersed" is the word, he has that natural obsessive drive displayed by so many natural entrepreneurs, the drive to express and expand and develop a unique message to a wider and wider audience. The new entrepreneur whose goal and mission is to share and give. Something Robert Kiyosaki calls "Spiritual Money" Hope you stick around to hear the whole this.

On this episode of The Children's Hour we explore mushrooms with mycology educator and author, Peter McCoy. We'll learn about how the fruits of fungi are the smallest parts of these incredible organisms, which can be found everywhere in nature from the tops of mountains to the bottom of the sea, and how they are a part of all living and dead creatures on Earth. There are many resources to learn more about mushrooms. We like this site with resources for teachers, parents, and kids from the North American Mycological Association that's broken down by age and grade level.  Find books for young people on mycology here.  This Utah State site is full of puzzles, games, and more educational resources about fungi and lichens. The British Mycology Society also has a site that is loaded with curriculum, games, resources, and more. durationtitleartistalbumlabel 02:38What in the WorldThe Happy RacersReady Set Go2017 SpinBoxClub 02:48Mycelium Around YaFormidable VegetableGrow Do It2016 Formidable Vegetable 03:23Like a Hobbit in a Mushroom FieldBrobdingnagian BardsMemories of Middle Earth2003 Mage Records 03:00Rap Song About FungiBram BarkerScience SongsBram Barker 02:00We're All ConnectedMedeski, Martin & WoodLet's Go Everywhere2014 Little Monster Records 02:19Portobello MushroomsKB WhirlyGreetings from Cloud 92016 Kb Whirly 02:00The Fungus SongRichard BullsingleRichard Bull 02:00Giant Mushroom ForestThe Brian Waite BandSpelunkalicious2019 The Brian Waite Band

His book, Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing and Working With Fungi has been praised as the most important and comprehensive text on fungal ecology, mushroom cultivation, mycoremediation, and medicinal mushrooms written to date, and one of the most significant contributions to advancing mycology in the 21st century. Peter's work is widely regarded as pioneering in the topics of applied mycology and his voice is one of the foremost in the less-explored fields of fungal evolution, fungal communication, and the history of fungi in human cultures. In 2017, Peter founded MYCOLOGOS, the world's first mycology school, to share his extensive knowledge through online courses and in-person training programs. A lover of the outdoors, Peter's work is a direct response to a life spent foraging in the fungi-rich Pacific Northwest of the United States.Episode Highlights:Roles of fungi and mycelium play in living ecosystemsFungi evolved on land long before plantsHow to manage partnerships with fungi and plants (gardens, orchards, food forests, etc)Importance of mycorrhizal fungi Nutrient exchangeConnect plants to the wider forest ("The Wood Wide Web")Utilizing fungal inoculants for specific garden typesProducing your own garden inoculantsMyco-remediation and how fungi can break down even the most toxic compoundsShow Links:Peter's Online Website (Including the online education): MycologosRadical Mycology BookRodale's Article on making your own local mycorrhizal inoculantsShow notes can be found here

To quote Peter McCoy, mycology is a "neglected mega-science". We couldn't agree more here at Mushroom Revival, and in this episode we cover the basics of mycology to give you the springboard you need to cultivate this powerful knowledge. 

Peter McCoy speaks for the fungi. His mission is to increase awareness, appreciation and the practical use of all manner of mushroom and mycelia. Peter is a co-founder of the grassroots advocacy group, Radical Mycology. He is also the author of a book by the same name which I’ve found to be the most thorough, current, and inspiring mycological reference available. For those of you new to the wonderful world of Fungi and regenerative agriculture, mycology is the study of fungi (mushrooms, lichens, molds, etc.) and is a fundamental element of building soil health and profitable regenerative systems. Peter is in high demand -- appearing in publications, speaking, and recently starting the world’s first mycology school (Mycologos), dedicated to the practical arts and science of working with fungi and, after much fanfare, being successfully funded on Kickstarter. Peter is well-versed in fungal impacts on agriculture systems on which this podcast episode focuses. His advocacy also covers ecological restoration, medical research, manufacturing, human nutrition, and more. Actionable Information Within This Episode: Why fungi should be considered a primary component in agricultural systems. Types of fungi to know in farming and how to encourage them. Utilizing fungal roles in the carbon cycle, soil aggregation, stability, and porosity. Calcium syncing and phosphorous harvesting. Myco-remediation techniques for neutralizing toxins. Drought, heat and disease resilience and tolerance.     Support For This Show & Helping You Grow This show is brought to you by AEA, leaders in regenerative agriculture since 2006.

Attention: calling all citizen scientists, farmers, homesteaders, and back-to-the-land types —Mother Mycelium wants YOU to join the ranks of the few, the proud, and the brave who’ve taken up the cause of radical mycology!For this week’s installment of the Good Life Revival Podcast (no. 48), I had the pleasure of speaking with thee rad mycologist himself, Peter McCoy.Peter is the author of the indispensable 2016 tome ‘Radical Mycology,’ which details essentially everything that we collectively know about fungi in the 21st century.Most recently, Peter launched Mycologos, the “world's first online and in-person school dedicated to the art and science of working with fungi.”Mycology — the study of fungi — is a very young science, and there is vast potential for creative individuals to make groundbreaking new discoveries and chart courses through completely uncharted fungal territory.Peter’s bio says he speaks for the fungi, and if the thrust of his message is any indication, the fungi are delighted that we’ve finally taken an interest in them as more than just “funny-looking plants” (fun fact: fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants).They — and he — would love for you to join us in (re)affirming the sanctity of the mycelial network that unites all beings at the crossroads of life and death. Fungi are incredibly powerful allies who we have only just begun to learn how to work with, and you can be a part of the revolution!The future is fungi!

In this episode we talk with Peter McCoy. He is most well known as one of the founders of Radical Mycology, a grassroots organisation and movement that teaches the many ways to work with fungi for personal, societal, and ecological resilience. He describes himself as an interdisciplinary, systems-oriented mycology educator.Join us as we talk about traditional uses of fungi, myco-literacy, what fungi can teach us, and Peter shares a bit about his journey.In 2016, Peter released the book Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With Fungi. He is the lead cultivation expert for the Amazon Mycorenewal Project, and a mycology advisor to Open Source Ecology and Permaculture Magazine North America.Apart from his work with fungi, he is also a community organiser, artist, musician, lecturer, and teacher. Peter's daily practice centers on cultivating, researching, and foraging for new intersections between healthy human and fungal relations. He is available for consultation on mushroom cultivation and remediation design, site surveys, lectures, informal talks, and teaching assignments.Check out all that Peter is up to:Radical Mycologyradicalmycology.comradicalmycologyconvergence.comfacebook.com/radmycologyinstagram.com/radmycologyRadical Mycology: The BookRadical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With FungiMycologos Schoolwww.mycologos.worldfacebook.com/mycologosinstagram.com/mycologosAnd shoutout to the band Confiture… bringing funky tunes to ears near you… www.confitureband.comShow NotesMycology As Activism- came to see mycology as a huge piece of the puzzle to nature's restoration- wanted to actively contribute to earth's betterment- did some self-education as a young adult that broadened his worldview- got involved in some projects which made him realise you can be part of making changes- creating solutions and community, instead of basing identity on what you are against- began to bring mycology up as a potential solution to current issues, not always received well- found like-minded people and ideas began to evolve- realised this was the piece of the puzzle he could contribute- solutions that mycology creates fold into social issues as well as environmental issuesMycology in Cultural Awareness- discussion of fermentation & Sandor Katz- mycology is unfamiliar and even somewhat feared in popular awareness- Peter works to de-stigmatise fungi and show how great it is- discussion of historical uses of fungi/mycology- many approaches to mycology beyond food, ethno-mycologyGetting Educated!- for Peter, mycology gives him access to new perspectives on many aspects of life- it reminds him that there is still mysteries out there to discover- most people don't know much about fungi; one way Peter is working to address that through his book- building community around mycology, to bring it into the cultural awareness at a social level- has in mind for the future a much more structured form of education to bring deeper study of mycology to people- “Radical Mycology 2.0” is coming- mycology is not taught in schools, so there is a hole to fill in offering educationA New Way to See the World- sense of connection that comes for many people, in learning the magic and mystery of fungi- a whole new way of seeing the natural world- teaching mycology through the the eyes of ecological awareness- for Peter, sometimes the things that are least talked about are the most interesting, such as the benefits & deliciousness of probioticsEcological Remediation- according to science, it seems likely that fungi were the first larger-celled structured organisms on earth (after bacteria)- fungi are central to earth's biology & uniquely powerful- discussion of how fungi supports soil, animal, and plant life- fungi are capable of breaking down many kinds of toxic substances that other organisms cannot- in the long run, fungi will probably be able to break down almost all man-made substances- this branch of research (micro-remediation) is very young, with not many fully realised examples, but there is so much room to explore- this exploration is something that many people will be capable of doing eventually in their own backyards, and potentially make big discoveriesFungi in Our Future- in the further-off future (100, 200 years), possibly all man-made systems could be affected and improved by fungi- fungi has a long shelf life, & makes an incredible building material- discussion of growing mushrooms for common household & natural medicinal usesClosing Thoughts- fungi already influence your life in a million ways- now is the perfect time: there is so much opportunity to get involved in cultivating fungi at this particular point in history- radicalmycology.com- Peter's book is at publishing website: chthaeus.com- this coming October: Radical Mycology Convergence- join the newsletter on any of their social media platforms

Today we're gonna take a deep dive into the wide world of mycology and fungi with Peter McCoy, the author of Radical Mycology and founder of Mycologos, a new online educational platform for courses on mushroom and fungal cultivation and knowledge. Peter has been studying mycology for more than 16 years and is one of the foremost educators and promotors of the potential of fungi. In this interview we explore some of the many practical and exciting applications of mycelium such as building healthy soil, reviving contaminated sites and polluted ecosystems, medicine and nutrition, transforming waste products and even biological batteries! Peter is a wealth of information and does a remarkable job of making the deep and intricate world of mycelium approachable and easy to understand for the layperson (a category that I certainly fall into). I hope this episode inspires you and opens your mind to the incredible potential of fungi like it did for me, so I'll hand things over now to Peter McCoy.

Peter McCoy is the founder of Radical Mycology, a nonprofit grassroots organization that engages in wide and varied methods (from organizing events and workshops and producing media content) to educate and actively demonstrate the vast potential fungi has in the fields of nutrition, waste disposal, medicine, food production, and water treatment, to just to name a few. The stated goals of Radical Mycology is: - To build an ecologically-conscious, solutions-oriented, and non-discriminatory grassroots movement of applied mycology practitioners. - To increase fungal diversity, water quality, and soil health in disturbed habitats through the dissemination of applied mycological skills that utilized the most appropriate and place-based technologies. This conversation covers these topics and gets into Peter’s motivations and personal journey with fungi, as well as his passion to connect with others that have similar interests and spread the knowledge and fungi’s practical application to the greater public.

There's a ton of interest concepts and ideas in that book, a few of which we will be exploring today. In this episode, we get into a wide variety of subject matter related to mycology from Remediation, importance of mycorrhizal fungi, fungi with annual crops, future of medicinal mushrooms and medicine, marketing versus effectiveness in some mushroom based products, and future of psilocybin mushrooms in medicine. The reason that we are able to get into all this subjects isn't because of me. It's because of Peter. Peter's brilliant. There's a lot here, enjoy it. Learn more at permaculturevoices.com/132

  An interview with Peter McCoy of Radical Mycology. Support Peter's Kickstarter Radical Mycology is a movement and social philosophy based on accessibly teaching the importance of mushrooms and other fungi for personal, societal, and ecological health. Radical Mycology differs from classical mycology in that classical mycology generally focuses on taxonomy, identification, mycophagy (eating mushrooms), and the more personal benefits of working with fungi while Radical Mycology is about using fungi for the benefit of larger communities and the world. As a concept, Radical Mycology is based on the belief that the lifecycles of fungi and their interactions in nature serve as powerful learning tools for how humans can best relate to each other and steward the world they live in.

I can't wait to join this Kickstarter - I've learned so much from Peter McCoy through his book, his help with my book, and his mushroom workshop that it's going to be amazing to get a full online course with him.

Mycologist and author Peter McCoy of RadicalMycology.com takes on the question - I'm wondering if you have any information about inoculating trees to grow truffles. I have read that hazelnuts are sometimes used in truffle production and, while there are nurseries that sell (large quantities of) inoculated trees, I can't find any information about doing it yourself. It seems like the method is to introduce some kind of inoculum into sterilised seeding media just prior to germination, but what is the inoculum? Ground up truffles? Can you grow out the inoculum prior to introducing it to the soil to expand your supply?

Mycologist and author Peter McCoy of RadicalMycology.com takes on the question - The question is whether or not mushrooms could be used in a brooder to help break down the wood based bedding, manure and spilled feed and maybe get a mushroom harvest. My brooder, along with others across the country are basically going to sit idle over the winter. Come late winter I go in there with some tools and clear it out. It is my least favorite day of the entire year. I'd be interested in inoculating the bedding with a mushroom and seeing what could be done. Any reduction in the amount of bedding would be a gain. If I could get some mushrooms out of it, all the better.  My thoughts were to cultivate something over the winter while the brooder is inactive and then clean it out before my first batch of broilers begins late February. Not sure if that would be a long enough time frame for mushrooms.

Today, the conversation with Radical Mycology’s Peter McCoy probes onward, as we invoke the powers of fungi in Earth healing and the integration of human societies into our delicate and compromised biosphere. We begin with cutting-edge uses of fungi for personalized medicine, which promises sweeping advances in healthcare and natural healing. We surmise the potentials and the limitations of myco-remediation in confronting industrial agriculture, logging, oceanic plastics, and other major pollution. We’ll also discuss the imperative to preserve fungal diversity and the methods of creating local spore and culture banks. Despite being sidelined by academia and the social mainstream, understanding mycology and fungal ecology—and the universal patterns therein—is an essential tool for reigning in the ecological crisis.

Mycologist and author Peter McCoy of RadicalMycology.com takes on the question - "I'm attempting your technique of decomposing cigarette butts with oysters. I have them growing on coffee grounds and I'm curious about using coffee as the substrate. I know it's probably not the best, but can I move to feeding it cigarette butts or would it be too much? And I'm also curious as to  whether or not there's more research done that suggests that the mycelium can broke down all or some of the toxins from used cigarettes butts."

Today we welcome back Peter McCoy, who speaks on behalf of the fungi, the most overlooked and misrepresented organisms in the web of life. Peter leads us through the earliest evidence of the fungal “queendom” in the development of culture and human intelligence, and shows how understanding fungal biology and mycelial webs can steer our social experiments. Peter is an original founder of Radical Mycology, a grassroots organization and movement that teaches the skills needed to work with mushrooms and other fungi for personal, societal, and ecological resilience. Peter is the lead cultivation expert for the Amazon Mycorenewal Project and Open Source Ecology and the primary author behind Radical Mycology, a nearly 700-page book on accessible mycology and mushroom cultivation. Apart from his work with fungi, he is also a community organizer, street medic, zinester, artist, musician, lecturer, and teacher.

Episode 129: Fungi are absent from our awareness, but are everywhere around us. In this interview with Peter McCoy, author of the book, Radical Mycology, we learn about fungi and its influence and effect on all life.  Did you know that fungi are the "grand chemists of nature"? That fungi are more closely related to the animal kingdom than the plant kingdom? Or that fungi is a high protein functional food that boosts your immune system?  Peter McCoy shares with us some of his knowledge gleaned from years of working with fungi. We talk about how many plants need fungi to grow and thrive (including orchids), how to grow mushrooms at home, and "Survival of the Most Symbiotic." Peter McCoy is the co-founder of Radical Mycology, a grassroots organization that educates about the importance of mushroom cultivation and mycoremediation. Peter is a writer, artist, mushroom cultivator, and educator.
