Tonight is a mushroom community update: why I went quiet, what’s changed while I’ve been gone, and why I’m back.
My last weekly episode was April 7, 2025. I dropped the Josh Walker of Lost Paradise episode on June 30, 2025, the Eugenia Bone on August 11, 2025, then the Mushroom Cultivation Masterclass roundtable episode on September 9, 2025… and after that, I went silent.
Not because I stopped cultivating. Not because I stopped learning. Not because I stopped caring.
I got quiet because the dynamics in this space have gotten uglyreport-driven algorithm takedowns, misinformation spreading faster than experience, and ethical people having to work twice as hard while the unscrupulous get rewarded. And in the middle of all that, real life hit hard for my family too.
This stream is me speaking plainly. No name-calling, no mob behavior, no witch hunts. Just honesty, context, and a clear plan for 2026.
What I’ll cover tonight:
00:00 Intro + why I’m doing this live
Why I went quiet and what I learned
How algorithms plus mass reporting are shaping this community
The flood of second-hand TEKs and “loud over skilled” culture
Why ethical vendors get punished and how we change that
Proof of life: what I’ve been doing while I was gone
What’s coming in 2026: guests, new channel, MycoTreks, “Grow Like Geeky,” and more
If you’ve ever learned something from this channel, the free way to support is simple: watch, comment, and share this with one person who’s tired of the noise and wants the good stuff to win.

Until next time, stay curious, stay cultivating… and as always...
