For more than twenty years, Mushroom Mountain’s Tradd Cotter has been working to think like a mushroom as he worked to build a business based on his mycological adventures. Since 1996, South Carolina’s Mushroom Mountain has produced edible mushrooms and served as a laboratory for Tradd’s explorations into the use of mushrooms for everything from mycoremediation to personalized antibiotics. Tradd and Chris explore Tradd’s low-tech and no-tech strategies for growing mushrooms, including the fundamentals of mushroom production and strategies for fitting mushrooms into a vegetable operation, getting into the psychology and physiology of the fungal kingdom.

Hi Chris, as a recent switched on Farmer to Farmer listener, I have been working my way backwards (m down to episode 27) I have to say your podcast is awesome!!
I am a commercial composter and soil biology educational practioner, who hunts and gathers and know you are what you eat.
The shows are all great in their own way, but none more so than your chat with Tradd. Wow, what a guy!
Awesome keep it up.
Its travelling well, being listen to in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
