Julian Mattucci, also know as @dedikaryotizationdaddy is a dedicated researcher and a talented mycologist. He has been in the throws of some of the more nerdy but important breeding work in the wild word of mushrooms. I came across his Dedikaryotization Protocol via a shroomery post offered up by the one and only @alan_rockefeller a few months back. Julian's work is focused on the development of a haploid culture bank for the purpose of getting folks into breeding his collection of isolates. From Dedikaryotization to DNA Sequencing and 3D Printing, Julian is a myco-engineer through and through ..read more

Welcome back the mighty Neil Brent of Columbia Mushrooms! There are a million and one hilarious things that can be said about Neil, but this batshit hero to the cultivation crowd knows how to grow gourmet mushrooms like the best of them. What I appreciate most about Neil is his split dedication to the stoke and the stone cold assessments of any given situation, object or attempt to avoid a phone call, delicately entwined with all the dark humor one might hope to muster in a lifetime. Japan, as a country, knows who Neil is and so should you! He lives according to the madness we all have simply ..read more

Mike and I ripped up the coast of California towards the never-ending boarder-lands between the sandy dunes of the hot as hell desert and the perfectly temperate pacific blue until we came to the land of Mighty Cap Mushrooms in Paso Robles.  Chris and Branden emerged from the first expansion of Mighty Cap, a super clean and well organized grow, to give us a tour around. There are two personalities that can compliment one another in an extremely beneficial way in this industry and Chris and Branden are a perfect example of this. Chris can sell, talk and engage with an audience stoked beyon ..read more

Shortly before deciding to take the leap into commercial gourmet mushroom cultivation, I stumbled across a video of a young Hamilton Morris reporting on Magic Truffles in Amsterdam for Vice News.  In this video Hamilton visits a farm that had to quickly pivot away from fruit body production and into sclerotia forming p. tampanensis cultivation sometime around 2008 due to the prohibition of magic mushrooms by the Dutch government. Years before the ban on the actual fruitbodies, my childhood friend Ken and I entered the Netherlands as naive American stoners and exited through a one way port ..read more

But an almost decade long battle to get his stolen land back in Malo, WA was not one of them. I’ve spent the better part of two years in conversations with Marc, going back and forth from the east coast to the west coast, riding motorcycles all over hell’s half acre to saturate myself in and under ..read more

Eric Pearson of Son and Skye is a myco-farmers dead set on the details of cultivation. His interests exist within the systems, controllers and concepts for keeping rooms regulated and running in the intense heat and humidity of the Florida summers. While his farm is small and seemingly off grid in its appearance, the dials are finely tuned and honed in on simplicity which leaves breathing room for actually enjoying the fine art of cultivation. A lot of us who have grow our mushroom businesses past the point of no return with partners, loans, mortgages, grants and stretches of expansion that wo ..read more

The first time I met Cyrus Lester of Mushroom Maggie's, I had no concept of the entire story behind such a genuine and bright human. All I knew after a couple of days showing Cyrus around Maine and NH was that it would be imperative to get him and Maggie onto MycoWizards. The story of Maggie and Cyrus is a wild one from the get go; initially just childhood acquaintances through a stack of turbulent formative years, their relationship, brainchild and drive today, stems from stacks of prison love letters and a common goal in building something better for their battered community. I remember the ..read more
