KM Mushrooms (Amanda Janney)

Some of our favorite mushroom cultivators are of old punk origins. You know the ones, strapped and packed with an array of patches, CDs, books and leftover dinner all in that high resting backpack rippin’ uphill on a fixed gear or in deteriorating ox-blood doc martens hopping rails and riding free atop the boxcars dead set on the western sunsets. They stand for experience and true freedom in this land of insanity. Their Ginsberg-ian will to be weird projects outward in the most endearing way as does their smile and their outspoken nature when it’s most needed. The archetype of the zen lunatic punk turned cultivator always makes it clear as hell where they stand and Amanda of KM Mushrooms is as true blue punk as they get. I can’t remember when Mike and I decided to stop in on her farm along our west coast MycoWizards tour but we are damn stoked we did because we found a true homie to fold into the anarchist-myco-hive. If you don’t know KM, you clearly are in the wrong crowd, so listen in and enjoy this week’s episode recorded on sight with the one and only Amanda Janney! Don’t forget to catch @km_mushrooms and @shroomsodoom in the flesh this summer giving a talk on scaling a mushroom farm at the @farwestfungi Santa Cruz Mushroom Festival!
