Richard Zwicky speaks with North Spore founder Matt McInnis who chronicles his journey from a teenage forager to co-founding a mycology company that has pivoted from a fresh mushroom farm to a leader in cultivation products, wellness, and education.
They explored the core differences between wild (mycorrhizal, non-cultivable) and cultivated (saprophytic, like oyster and shiitake) fungi, acknowledging the profound, yet still mysterious, power and utility of mycelial networks.
