Tucker Pforzheimer and Truman French of Martha's Vineyard Mycological

Martha_s Vineyard Mycological, Food Minded Fellow Podcast, episode-4 ABOUT THE EPISODE Join me as I speak with Tucker Pforzheimer and Truman French founders of Martha’s Vineyard Mycological, a boutique producer of “wild harvest shiitake mushrooms.” Tucker and Truman met in a mycological program at Harvard University. Not just scholarly, but also men of action, they have established a mushroom farm that produces arguable the best shiitake mushroom I have ever tasted. Not only is their product delicious but their farming practices are remarkably low impact. We talk about mushrooms, mycelium, Island history, and the ongoing struggle to build more efficiencies into their production process. “We didn’t want to have a huge carbon footprint and just be this complete superficial participant in agriculture, its not a meaningful thing” — Truman French Read My article about MVM More Episodes Send me feedback This podcast is funded, in part, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.
