What if mushrooms could talk to computers? And what if they already are?

In this mindbending episode we sit down with Morgan Rockwell, a former Bitcoin core developer turned mycology technologist, who's building biological computers that plug directly into mushrooms. Yes, you read that right.

Morgan shares how he’s using fungi to monitor ecosystems, why mushrooms might be the original computers, and how blockchain, AI, and mycelium networks could transform medicine, agriculture, and even the future of the planet. From his wild beginnings in the Bitcoin underground to building Neuralink for the Earth, this conversation will change the way you see fungi and maybe even the Earth itself.

This isn’t just science fiction. This is fungi powered science fact.

Tune in for

  • How mycelium behaves like a brain stomach and internet in one
  • Why kids fear mushrooms but love robots and how to fix it
  • The real world potential of the Mushroom DAO and decentralized science
  • The vision of using fungi to terraform planets

Whether you're into crypto biotech environmental science or just love a good story this one’s for you.
