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
