The Mycelium Mind

Exploring Consciousness with Mushroom Cultivator and Geneticist Mark Kohl

Enter the underground network of thought, healing, and possibility. In this episode, host Taylor Stein sits down with Mark Kohl — a psychedelic mushroom farmer and geneticist whose work is at the cutting edge of both science and spirituality. Mark is also the founder of The Frequency House — a sacred space for ceremonies and ancient Eastern healing technologies. Think of it as an Esalen in Topanga — a sanctuary where modern seekers can explore deep healing and transformation.

Travel through spore and soil, talking lucidly about the intersections of psychedelics, neuroplasticity, and the unseen intelligence of nature. Mark shares stories from his years of cultivation work, what it's like to steward genetic diversity in the psychedelic space, and how fungi are quietly shaping the future of medicine, mental health, and consciousness itself.

This is not about trend-chasing or quick-fix wellness. It's about the long game: real growth, deep listening, and the mysterious intelligence of organisms that have outlived empires. Expect practical wisdom, unexpected revelations, and a glimpse into the mind of a man who’s spent decades in dialogue with the underground.

For the seekers, the skeptics, and the spore-curious—this one’s for you.
