Today on the pod we’ve got an esteemed Mexican mycologist & researcher, a mycomaterials designer and entrepreneur who is turning heads around the world and winning prestigious design competitions with his fungal biomaterial fabrications - all while publishing peer-reviewed academic papers and holding it down in academia - oh, he has a podcast about mushrooms, too, en Español, called "Entre Hongos"

Gente del mundo micológico dar gracias, bienvenidos al Mycopreneur Podcast -

Dr. Efren Robledo

Today we’re going to be talking bout Dr. Robledo’s foray into the world of mycomaterials, which he and his team of mycopreneurs at the Universidad autonoma de Nuevo Leon in Monterrey, Mexico, have been extensively researching, prototyping and reiterating with to create some seriously impressive reishi leather that is quickly garnering the attention of the international design community 

Their mycopreneurial venture is called Mycelium with an I and you can find some of their current offerings at www.somosmicelium.com

We’re also going to talk about the mycopreneurial landscape of Mexico, as increasing number of younger folks re-embrace the abundant ancestral wisdom and knowledge of fungi that is endemic to this beautiful land

We talk about opportunities to build mycelium bridges across the world, both figuratively and literally, and

We talk about Efren’s vision for his own mycopreneurial hustle and what the ultimate goal of mycopreneurism is for him

All that and a whole lot more
