Back to the "Fungal Jungal" with legendary mycologist, Larry Evans.

Part II of II featuring Larry Evans, aka The Fungal Boogieman!! We just couldn't get enough... so we're featuring him on two episodes. Stay tuned for a BIG announcement regarding a new partnership which will allow us to continue connecting people with place through storytelling, art, history, culture and wildlife conservation! We will make the announcement on Monday, September 25th. Be sure to follow the show on IG and Facebook in order to stay updated and follow us as we record on location around the world.Larry Evans has taught mycology since you had to explain what that is. He’s authored dozens of articles, notably, “Soil Carbon and You”. His YouTube channel Fungal Jungal samples his adventures in Russia, Asia, and North and South America; after 15 years of visiting and nearly 2,000 collections placed in the Bolivia National Herbarium, he wrote a Field Guide to Tropical Amazon Mushrooms, republished this year in Spanish. In 1991 Larry co-founded the Western Montana Mycological Association and he has been instrumental in organizing festivals and forays around Colorado and the Pacific Northwest since. In 1997 he began operating the Black Dog Cafe, and in 2001 he became the first approved commercial mushroom vendor in Montana. An American diplomat dubbed him the Indiana Jones of mushrooms after an encounter in a taxi in Khabarovsk when he was there buying non timber forest products. He spent 5 years furthering remediation agendas in Ecuador and has developed myco-remediation projects with Amazon (CoRenewal) and Garden City Compost. He wrote and produced 2 CDs of mushroom music; Fungal Boogie and Fungal Boogieman, and was featured in his Telluride Mushroom Festival role in Ron Mann’s 2009 come-documentary, Know Your Mushrooms. 100% of financial support for this podcast and our educational outreach programs comes from Patreon donations.
