Foraging for Mushrooms with "The Fungal Boogieman"

Larry Evans, aka The Fungal Boogieman, 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.
