EP128 Mycology, Mushroom Lore, and Psychedelic Fungi: What We’re Still Figuring Out with guest Alan Rockefeller

from Shaping Fire · host Shango Los

The study and discovery of mushrooms is a wide-open opportunity for everyone! Much of what we think we know about mushrooms is built on poor historical descriptions and incomplete science. On this episode of Shaping Fire, host Shango Los talks with world-renowned mycologist Alan Rockefeller about the cubensis species complex, the myriad mushrooms still to be named, unknown evolutionary pressures, the necessity and variety of secondary metabolites, wood lover’s paralysis, and mycelium versus fruiting body mushroom supplements.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
