Sno Valley Mushrooms (Will Lockmiller)

It’s easy to get pulled into the groundswell of hyper fixated myco-nerds at a mushroom festival. At some point after this conversation you are about to hear, Will Lockmiller of Sno Valley Mushrooms, Roger Rabbit and Robert Rogers, collected myself and Danielle Stevenson to go join Will and his partner for dinner at an obscure and hidden gem of an Olympic Peninsula Mexican Restaurant. Will and myself went down all of the mycological avenues and industry gossip like wolves in a rabbit den until we looked up to see everyone else a little more quiet than us. RR speaks up, “Jesus, are these two still talking about mushrooms?!” This reality rings true for a lot of us in the cultivation scene when we get together with one another. RRs statement and Robert Rogers’ smile broke up the one track hive mind and we began talking about secret research projects, art and life. I will always be grateful for this meeting of the minds in a secret little mini mall oasis of a Mexican Restaurant as far north as one can get in the OP of Washington State. There is so much to say about Will’s achievements with Sno Valley but we will let the full conversation tell the tale!
