This week we sit down with Chadd Bauman, the owner of Circular Harvest, a mycelium farm that is striving to reshape agriculture into a circular, wasteless system. We discuss the ways in which we can change the agricultural landscape through regenerative, sustainable approaches as well as diving into all the interesting science behind the mushroom revolution. We discuss psychedelics, body-controlling cortyceps, mycoremediation, mushrooms that can eat oil, and prehistoric fungi. We also touch on scientific elitism, slime molds, 15 minute cities, chatGPT, feral pigs, and the current and past stigmas surrounding mushrooms. Chadd also enlightens us on the humble beginnings of Circular Harvest, how we can grow mushrooms at home, and the future of fungi.
