Jasper Degenaars: Fungi Academy

Jasper Degenaars is here to educate the world about mushrooms and normalize the use of Psychedelic Medicine. He is the director of the world-renowned Fungi Academy in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, and a passionate mycophile who believes that the power systems of the world can be redistributed among people and communities through appropriate leveraging of mycelial networks.

Jasper and I had a chance to sit down together in person at the beautiful Fungi Academy campus in Tzununa, Guatemala -- a tiny village on the shores of Lake Atitlan, where Fungi Academy hosts in-person cultivation workshops and also broadcasts their online courses to a global audience.

Over the course of our hour-long conversation, we touch on the bold new science of Mycofiltration, Jasper's personal macrodosing regiment, the draconian drug laws of the United States and the potential of mycology education outreach programs in the U.S. Penal System, the importance of home cultivation of mushroom food and medicine as a preventative measure against abusive and hierarchical systems of power, circular economies, and some of the abundant market opportunities that currently exist for Mycopreneurs.
