Support the show and be automatically entered into our monthly giveaways exclusive to MycoWizards Members!  Try to get Kyle Garrone to talk about anything but growing mushrooms and the emerging world of contemporary cultivators and it will ultimately snap back to mushrooms like an elastic band to itself. The draw and intrigue is too intense for the majority of us to stray far from. We stay up late into the dark hours contemplating pneumatic movements for saving time and speeding up a means to grow more and it is ultimately only exhaustion that blankets the intense obsession to allow for a semblance of slumber. It’s a gift and a curse to be generational in this industry but Kyle has brought Far West Fungi out of the labor intensive dark ages of the early 80’s and 90’s where the industry consisted of brute force and an underpaid labor force to get gourmets into the market. Kyle’s global perspective feeds into the important narrative that if we want a mushroom industry to persist and stabilize in the states we need to start building the institutions, the labs, the farms and the networks to empower the youth of now and tomorrow to take the fungal forces into our own domestic hands. Globalization of food crops is a tricky dichotomy to be on the fence about. Build the schools, build the farms, decentralize the fresh food sources and stabilize the myco-world instead of attempting to dominate it and if successful we will have made momentous strides in the direction of my least favorite word due its misuse and abuse, sustainability.       Support the show
