PT: SporeCast - 90SM TAKEOVER E2

PT SporeCast 90SM Takeover: Magic Truffles, Fungal Science, Exotic Mushrooms, K2 & Spice Frank takes over PT SporeCast and brings Platy & Shroom along for the ride for a wide-ranging 90SM deep dive. We start with Dr. Steven Pollock, Psilocybe tampanensis and the origins of magic truffles, including Pollock’s pioneering work with sclerotia and his still-unsolved murder on 31 January 1981. From there, we explore the discovery of the new fungal class Semicentenialomycetes, antifungal resistance and the wider world of fungal science. Michel0gical and Rashfree then join the conversation to discuss exotic mushrooms, why fewer cultivators are willing to take them on, genetic compatibility, potential cubensis crosses and the possibilities of manure-free cultivation. Finally, Frank shares his personal experiences with K2, Spice and research chemicals, including their potential dangers and the heartbreaking story of a best friend he lost. 🍄 Mycology • Genetics • Cultivation • K2 • Spice • Research Chemicals 🌐 PT & 90SM Psycho Platy: https://psychoplaty.com/ PT Discord: https://discord.gg/platypustechnical Cultivr: https://thecultivr.app/?ref=psychoplaty 90 Second Mycology: https://90secondmycology.com/ 90SM Media: https://90smmedia.com/ 🎵 PlatypusTechnical Music Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6GhtEMgI2bU4XtopkaWMGs?si=jQBYF_gPQ6yXwQI9lzkYjg&utm_source=copy-link Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/platypustechnical/6794665015 📚 Episode Topics & Sources Digital Fortress Newsletter Archive — Edition 2 Primary Source: https://90smmedia.com/newsarchive Hamilton’s Deep Dive on the Pollock Case: https://harpers.org/archive/2013/07/blood-spore/ New Fungal Class — Semicentenialomycetes: https://www.the-microbiologist.com/news/new-class-of-fungi-named-after-the-king-of-sweden/9516.article WHO Antifungal Resistance Blueprint: https://www.who.int/news/item/30-06-2026-new-who-report-outlines-critical-steps-to-confront-fungal-disease-and-antifungal-resistance Michel0gical: https://www.instagram.com/michael_ogical?stkn=cWJzdGRuMHpneDNt 🍄 Join the Community PT Discord: https://discord.gg/platypustechnical No hype — just growing. 🍄
