<p>Daniel Reyes of MycoAlliance joins us in the season one finale for a discussion of his applied mycological organization and journey into the path of mycoremediation. We move from his scientific and professional background into the story of how he started a mycology education center at Circle Acres, a capped and restored landfill site in the city of Austin, Texas. He provides insight into how he followed Gary Lincoff’s “dedicate your life to mushrooms” advice in a measured and thoughtful way, which has led him from mostly teaching about the uses of fungi to developing mycoremediation research protocols in the Yucatan Peninsula.</p> <p>While this episode will wrap up season one of Applied Mycology and we will be taking a short break over the summer months here (in the northern hemisphere), keep an eye out for special bonus content coming in the near future.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Daniel’s work and related projects on instagram:</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mycoalliance/" target="_blank">@mycoalliance</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/amisacho_restauracion/" target="_blank">@amisacho_restauracion</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/centraltexasmycology/" target="_blank">@centraltexasmycology</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mycoresearchstation/" target="_blank">@mycoresearchstation</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Support the show at:<br> </p> <p><a href="https://appliedmycology.gumroad.com/" target="_blank">https://appliedmycology.gumroad.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycology" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycolog</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycology">y</a></p> <p><br></p>

<p>We are joined by Olga Tzogas, the founder of Smugtown Mushrooms, for an in depth discussion taking us all the way from Rochester, NY to mountains of Greece. Olga shares her journey of starting a community based mushroom business that has become a hub for much more than mycology, and how the cultivation of community and fungi led her to begin organizing mushroom festivals and gatherings. She provides insights and tips into quality event organization that allows attendees to connect with nature and each other, as well as re-imagine what a healthy society could look like and take steps to create it. Our conversation also gets into Olga's Greek roots and her experience of reconnecting with the culture through the lens of fungi, which eventually led her to host mushroom based tours of the country.</p> <p>For mushrooms, mushroom products, mushroom cultivation supplies and business inquiries check out:</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.smugtownmushrooms.com/" target="_blank">smugtownmushrooms.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Olga's work on instagram:</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/smugtownmushrooms/" target="_blank">@smugtownmushrooms</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Support the show at:</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://appliedmycology.gumroad.com/" target="_blank">https://appliedmycology.gumroad.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycology" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycology</a></p>

<p>Damon Tighe joins the show to provide a wide ranging perspective on studying fungi and the natural world in general. From developing new genetic techniques for assessing microorganisms to DIY mushroom cultivation experiments to prolific cataloguing of the planet’s biodiversity with the iNaturalist app, Damon has advanced the knowledge of and techniques for studying the Earth’s residents on multiple fronts. His current work focuses on outreach and improving the teaching of molecular biology techniques, so we discussed the importance of science education, good experimental design with modest research goals, training the next generation of scientists, and the importance of not getting lost in the allure of all the amazing new technology emerging in the biological sciences. Additionally he tells us about the importance of bio-blitzes and the use of apps like iNaturalist both for advancing the ecological sciences and developing a community understanding and appreciation for them. From leading edge molecular technology to home cultivation experiments to learning the biodiversity in your neighborhood, Damon helps shed light on ways to study and work with fungi from the complex to the highly accessible.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Damon's Work:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/damontighe/" target="_blank">@damontighe</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Support the show at:</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://appliedmycology.gumroad.com/" target="_blank">https://appliedmycology.gumroad.com</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycology" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/appliedmycology</a></p>
