176: MEET THE PLUG|The Fungivore’s Guide to Mexico’s Mycotours
Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review
In this episode, Zach and I dive into how he went from 27 years in kitchens to hiking through the mountains of Mexico hosting culinary myco-adventures with his wife. From psychedelic beginnings in the '90s to micro-tourism magic in Oaxaca, Zach shares stories of barbacoa under the stars, discovering 51 orchid species on a mushroom survey, dyeing silk with lobsters (the mushrooms, not the animals), and building trust with indigenous communities one spore at a time.
We get into:
- How mushroom tourism actually works
- The power of language and cultural respect in ecological tourism
- Mushroom dyeing, Mexican culinary traditions, and wild edible hunts
- And the future of cross-cultural mycology, from Oaxaca to Chiapas to Japan
