Send us a text Ann Arbor, Michigan is more than just a college town—it’s one of the most intellectually concentrated cities in the country, and home to a growing hub of psychedelic advocacy, research, and community organizing. In this episode, I sit down with two powerful voices from the University of Michigan who are helping shape the next chapter of the mushroom movement: 👉 Emily Berriman – Master of Social Work student specializing in Mental Health and Substance Abuse, and current president of the Student Association for Psychedelic Studies (SAPS). 👉 Matt Strang – Psychedelic advocate, mushroom cultivator, SSDP leader, harm reductionist, and a person in recovery who found healing through psilocybin after struggling with post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS). We dig deep into: 🍄 The mission of SAPS and its connection to the Michigan Psychedelic Center (M-PsyC) 🎓 How Emily is working to prepare the next generation of psychedelic-aware clinicians 📚 University of Michigan research on psilocybin, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, cannabis, ketamine, and consciousness 🧠 The neuroscience of psychedelics, including critical period reopening and social reward learning ⚖️ Matt’s advocacy work with SSDP and the push to decriminalize entheogens in Jackson, MI 🛡️ Harm reduction infrastructure: drug checking, safe consumption sites, and crisis response without police 🔄 Bridging recovery communities and psychedelic healing—Matt’s experience with PIR and AA 💊 Clinical vs naturalistic use: where we are, where we’re headed, and why both matter 💥 Why social workers play a crucial role in ending the War on Drugs and supporting psychedelic care Whether you’re a student, a therapist, a cultivator, or just curious about how grassroots and institutional movements are reshaping psychedelic access, this conversation is for you.

A MycoGeeky Classic: The Origins of a Longstanding Collaboration 🍄 ✨The MycoGeeky Podcast 2:07:43

5 weeks ago2:07:43

2:07:43

Send us a text In this remastered throwback from November 2022, MycoGeeky sits down with PhD Mycologist and former professor Edward Grand PhD (aka ED1K) for a lively and info-packed conversation that bridges mushroom ID, taxonomy, and cultivation science. Broadcasting from Thailand, Ed shares practical tips for identifying mushrooms to genus using dichotomous keys and spore prints, along with cultivation insights on monokaryon isolation, serial dilutions, and LC recipes. They dive into the biological species concept, DNA vs. morphology in taxonomy, and how home growers can adopt more scientific standards when naming and describing their own varieties. Along the way, the banter is unfiltered and hilarious—touching on gaming chairs, Wesley Willis, pressure cooker myths, puffballs vs. boletes, and Ed’s unconventional life story (including how he ended up with two kids in China). Whether you’re a cultivator, forager, or just myco-curious, this episode delivers laughs, learning, and serious mushroom geekery.

Channeling the Mycelial Muse: The Art & Vision of Irene Antonez 🍄 ✨The MycoGeeky Podcastpisode 1:32:21

6 weeks ago1:32:21

1:32:21

Send us a text Irene Antonez doesn’t just paint mushrooms—she channels them. A Prague-based artist, musician, and lifelong mycophile, her work merges a sort of scientific precision with deep creative intuition, revealing the unseen worlds of fungi, lichens, and microorganisms in a way that speaks directly to cultivators, artists, and visionaries alike. With a background in Future Design and Fine Art, Irene’s art is fueled by microscopic research, hands-on foraging, and a reverence for the natural intelligence of fungi. She draws from old school botanical artists, ethnomycology, and the organic chaos of mycelial networks—transforming spores and hyphae into intricate, mesmerizing compositions. Whether she’s painting the delicate veils of an Amanita, magnifying the cryptic beauty of mycelium, or weaving feminist symbolism into her work, Irene’s art invites us to see fungi not just as organisms, but as creative collaborators. Beyond her canvas, Irene is a mycelial storyteller—teaching workshops, crafting entheogenic mandalas, and contributing to projects like Mushroom Magic, where film, fungi, and art converge. For those who see mycology as more than just science—who view cultivation, music, and visual art as extensions of the fungal mind—Irene’s work is a portal into a world where creativity and mycelium grow together.

AT-HOME CULTIVATION REVOLUTION: Meet Stina Mycelia & the New Wave of Mushroom Growers 1:01:50

9 weeks ago1:01:50

1:01:50

Send us a text In this episode, we sit down with Stina Mycelia, a Canadian mushroom forager and at-home cultivator who represents the new wave of DIY mushroom growers. Unlike the stereotypical “mushroom person,” Christina has a career, is well-traveled, and never expected to find herself growing magic mushrooms at home. But after reconnecting with nature, she fell in love with fungi, leading her down a path of foraging, cultivation, and deep exploration into the world of mycology. We discuss her journey from childhood curiosity to serious mushroom enthusiast, including the moment she was overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of fungi on a backpacking trip along Lake Superior’s coast. Christina shares how foraging became an obsession, comparing it to a real-life Easter egg hunt where each discovery feels like uncovering something magical. She also talks about how her travels have changed since getting into mushrooms, planning trips around prime foraging spots and attending events like MycoFest. On the cultivation side, Christina debunks some of the biggest myths about growing mushrooms, including the idea that manure is necessary and that they need total darkness. She shares her own early experiences with contamination disasters, the lessons she learned, and how upgrading from a still air box to a flowhood was a total game-changer. We also explore the balance between foraging and cultivation, the sense of spiritual renewal she finds in nature, and whether being a woman in the male-dominated mycology space has presented any challenges. The home cultivation movement is growing faster than ever, and Christina is proof that you don’t need a lab, a degree, or an unusual background to get started. If you’re curious about foraging, home cultivation, and the future of DIY mushrooms, this episode is a must-watch!

ETHICAL VENDING IN THE ONLINE SPACE 🍄 ✨The MycoGeeky Podcast 1:40:06

10 weeks ago1:40:06

1:40:06

Send us a text The world of mushroom genetics vending is a wild one—where ethics, honesty, and a little bit of mycelial magic collide. Should vendors stabilize strains before selling, or is it all just part of the great genetic experiment? What’s the deal with renaming cultigens? And does transparency even exist in the myco marketplace? In this special episode, we’re revisiting three legends in the mycology world—Dave Wombat, Raymond & Maya Midichee, and Whitebeard—each with their own take on vending ethics. From the importance of transparency to the power of community-driven breeding to the responsibility of buyers themselves, this episode dives deep into the dos, don’ts, and downright shady side of spore sales. So, should vendors hold back F1 genetics until they’re stabilized, or is it fair game to share early and let the community shape their evolution? And how do we separate the innovators from the opportunists in a space full of hype? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and let’s talk about what ethical vending really means. 🍄⚖️ Join MycoTreks this July 13-20, 2025 to explore one of the most unique fungal hotspots in the world, Xalapa, Mexico! 🔗 Get all the details and secure your spot here: https://www.mycotreks.tours/ 🌿 Support the MycoGeeky Community!
