Fireside Chats With Fruiting Bodies

In this enriching episode, Ken and Roger from Fruiting Bodies sit down with Jay, founder of 392 Caffé, for a heartfelt and wide-ranging conversation on the intersections of mushrooms, coffee, wellness, and local community-building. Together, they explore how intentional sourcing, ethical entrepreneurship, and shared values are reshaping the coffee and supplement industries. From Fruiting Bodies’ mission to offer clean and effective mushroom supplements to Jay’s vision for cultivating connection through caffeinated spaces, this dialogue digs deep into the roots of regenerative business and symbiotic partnerships. Whether you're a wellness enthusiast, an indie café regular, or just mushroom-curious, this episode is packed with inspiration, insight, and grounded wisdom.

This is a recording from Roger's iPhone of when Ken & Roger of Fruiting Bodies gave a talk about Mushroom Essences with the man himself, Robert Rogers, at the 2024 Telluride Mushroom Festival in Telluride, CO. We apologize in advance if the audio quality on this file is not the best. Moving forward we will be utilizing better audio recording equipment. 

For the last two years, Fruiting Bodies has sponsored the Telluride Mushroom Festival in Telluride, CO. Last year we also sponsored the integration space during the festival and it was a huge success. The festival and it's mycological roots are very near and dear to our hearts. If you haven't been out to Telluride to experience the magic yourself, we highly recommend you attend this year! We hope to see you there this year in August! 

This is Fruiting Bodies first podcast where we go into some detail about ourselves, how we came to be, who we are, and some cool knowledge about our products and the state of the functional mushroom industry.
