Evan Strusinski

Evan Strusinski is a legend among foragers and mycophiles. For years Evan sold wild mushrooms and foraged edibles to the top Chefs in NYC, now many of those restaurants are closed for COVID. Join for a meandering stroll into the ethics, naturalism, lifestyle and prognostications of cool myco-cat Evan. A true expert, he finds, identifies, harvests, and transports over 300 species of wild and rare plants and fungi found in the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. He spends his springs, summers, and falls in the woods where his deep knowledge, intuition, and attentive senses guide him to alluring wild foods.Show Notes:Evan's InstagramSusan LeopoldUnited Plant SaversRosemary GladstarPeter Mccoy Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererMore interviews with Evan Strusinski:Food and WineThe Boston GlobeGarage MagGreenhorns works nationally and locally to create a welcoming and hospitable culture for new entrants in regenerative agriculture.
