Our friend Jacob from Oklahoma Fungi returns to the show! He has the big OK MushFest coming up on October 12th and 13th, where GrowCast will be appearing! Check it out at www.okmushfest.com and come see us. Jacob shares some of the work he’s been involved in since we last spoke, including looking at the concept of using cannabis leaf waste as mushroom growing mediums. This leads to a conversation about natural farming and soil life in general, as well as how fungi play into the soil food web. Jacob discusses a project he recently undertook where he grow a mushroom into an ashtray shaped mold, and actually made a real “living” mushroom ashtray. He wraps up the show by talking about some of his favorite culinary mushrooms and how he likes to cook them!
