Back to the "Fungal Jungal" with legendary mycologist, Larry Evans.

Part II of II featuring Larry Evans, aka The Fungal
Boogieman!! We just couldn't get enough... so we're featuring him
on two episodes.


Stay tuned for a BIG announcement regarding a new partnership
which will allow us to continue connecting people with place
through storytelling, art, history, culture and wildlife
conservation! We will make the announcement on Monday, September
25th. Be sure to follow the show on IG and Facebook in order to
stay updated and follow us as we record on location around the
world.


Larry Evans has taught mycology since you had to explain what
that is. He’s authored dozens of articles, notably, “Soil
Carbon and You”. His YouTube channel Fungal
Jungal samples his adventures in Russia, Asia, and North and
South America; after 15 years of visiting and nearly 2,000
collections placed in the Bolivia National Herbarium, he
wrote a Field Guide to Tropical Amazon Mushrooms,
republished this year in Spanish.


 In 1991 Larry co-founded the Western Montana
Mycological Association and he has been instrumental in
organizing festivals and forays around Colorado and the Pacific
Northwest since. In 1997 he began operating the Black Dog Cafe,
and in 2001 he became the first approved commercial mushroom
vendor in Montana. 


An American diplomat dubbed him the Indiana Jones of mushrooms
after an encounter in a taxi in Khabarovsk when he was there
buying non timber forest products. He spent 5 years
furthering remediation agendas in Ecuador and has developed
myco-remediation projects with Amazon (CoRenewal) and Garden City
Compost. He wrote and produced 2 CDs of mushroom
music; Fungal Boogie and Fungal Boogieman, and was
featured in his Telluride Mushroom Festival role in Ron Mann’s
2009 come-documentary, Know Your Mushrooms.
