PT: Cave Session - E08 Mycelial Madness

Last night’s podcast with Mycelial Madness was an absolute banger! Shroom and I sat down with Antonio, one half of the Mycelial Madness team. Unfortunately, Rusty couldn’t make it due to health reasons, and we all want to send our best wishes for a speedy recovery. No doubt he’ll be joining us on the show soon enough. The conversation was packed from start to finish. We talked about Antonio’s journey into mycology, starting out as a cannabis enthusiast before discovering a passion for fungi. We explored how Mycelial Madness became an absolute powerhouse when it comes to mutants and blob genetics, carving out a unique niche within the community. We also dove into the role psilocybin has played throughout Antonio’s life, discussing everything from microdosing to full psychedelic journeys. We explored how both approaches can offer valuable tools for self-reflection, personal growth, and healing. Then we got into the nitty-gritty cultivation talk. Antonio shared details about his process, how they run their tubs with minimal fresh air exchange and high CO₂ conditions to encourage the mutations they’re known for, along with the grain, substrate, and equipment they use to achieve consistent results. One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation was hearing how Antonio’s graffiti background has influenced the creation of the Mycelial Madness universe. The creativity, style, and artistic vision behind the brand are deeply rooted in that culture and can be seen throughout everything they do. Join Platy and Shroom as they dive deep into blobs, mutants, cultivation techniques, creativity, and the ever-expanding world of Mycelial Madness. This is one episode you won’t want to miss
