Today on Mushroom Hour we have the joy of interviewing Mandie Quark AKA Mushroom Madman. Mandie is an intriguing blend of artist and scientist who has been completely taken over by mushrooms.   Our journey takes us to the temperate rainforests of North Carolina - one of the only rainforests in North America. We start our chat with a brief history of Mandie Quark. Her impressive academic career saw her explore pharmacognosy, ethnobotany and eventually receive a Masters Degree in Biochemistry. Mandie made the decision to hang up her academic lab coat in 2018 to pursue an alternative career path centered around mycology with her partner-in-mushrooms, Michael Weese of MushroomLife.   Our conversation takes us into mushroom foraging, mushroom identification, genetic sequencing of mushrooms how Mandie is sharing her vast knowledge of chemistry to further other citizen scientists' endeavors in the world of mycology. We wrap up talking about her upcoming "Chemistry for Mycologists" classes and an amazing "Rainforest Mycology Convergence" educational bonanza planned for Summer 2020.   Thanks for listening and Mush Love!    Directed, Recorded, Produced by: Mushroom Hour  (@welcome_to_mushroom_hour)    Music by: Ancient BabyArt by: Wyn Di StefanoEpisode Resources   Mandie Quark IG: https://www.instagram.com/mushroom_madman/Mandie Quark Website:  https://www.mushroommadman.com/Michael Weese IG:  https://www.instagram.com/mushroomlyfe/Michael Weese Website:  https://mushroomlife.com/NAMA:  https://namyco.org/Book - Mushrooms of Northeastern North America:  https://www.amazon.com/Mushrooms-Northeastern-North-America-Bessette/dp/0815603886Book - Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm:   https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Intelligence-Imaginal-Realm-Perception/dp/1591431352Mushroom - Terana Caerulea:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terana_caerulea

Ep. 10: Mixing Chemistry & Mycology in the Appalachian Rainforest (feat. Mandie Quark)

Mushroom Madman Mandie Quark is a mycologist admirably following her dreams. She and her boyfriend/research partner moved to western North Carolina with a goal of collecting and cataloging rare fungal species. This is a fun and informative conversation about the science of mycology, mushroom foraging, and how to stay upbeat and creative in 2020. Conversation Starts @ 03:25 “Why should you take a madman seriously”? Mandie is trained as a research scientist, and a grant writer. She has a Masters in Biochemistry and a Bachelors in Chemistry, and she is certified by the state of North Carolina Department of Health and licensed to safely pick, identify, and sell wild foraged mushrooms in seven mid-atlantic states. Mandie has also been a keynote speaker and teacher at many mycology festivals and mushroom related events across the country. Now, with that entire history of achievements, Mandie decided to leave it all behind so that she could pursue life as a mycologist. The work that she and her research partner perform will help make this world a better place by discovering new mushrooms that could potentially help scientists direct the mechanisms of medicine and ecological healing, which many other fungi hold. If you would like to support Mandie and her mycological research, go to mushroommadman.com where you can either directly donate or purchase her exclusive one-of-a-kind mushroom photographs. I am so thankful for this opportunity to have spoken with Mandie and to share with you the conversation that we had.
