Kyle will begin his talk with the facts about fungi, the characteristics they share with other kingdoms, and the traits that make them unique. Then he will explore the ecological roles fungi fill in soil ecosystems, in composting systems, and in direct interactions with plants. Kylealso will cover different methods for working with and measuring fungi, and will share his thoughts on the future of farming with fungi. This webinar will spread the spores of knowledge about these cryptic and often underappreciated organisms, amplifying practical ways regenerative agriculture practitioners can collaborate with the Fungal Kingdom.
About our speakers:
Kyle Kaszynski began his academic career by studying plant biology and chemistry at Southern Illinois University, where he was able to participate in a number of different research opportunities. From there he traveled north to Wisconsin to study mycology with the famed professor Dr. Tom Volk. Falling in love with the biodiversity of the PNW, Kyle moved to Oregon after graduation to pursue a career in the Cannabis industry. He has since co-founded a consulting company, Mycophyte Solutions, and is co-authoring ‘The Mycology of Cannabis’ which is expected to be published in mid-2023. Since moving to Oregon, Kyle has worked for a number of fertilizer companies and has been certified by the American Society of Agronomy as a Certified Crop Advisor and by the Soil Food Web School as a Certified Lab Tech. Currently, he actively consults with Cannabis farmers, helping them grow their crop by incorporating sustainable practices. Kyle regularly also works with mushroom farmers across the country and with landowners in the PNW to utilize the benefits of fungi to improve the ecosystem.
Dr. Adam Cobb’s passion for agriculture emerged during his several months of volunteer work on organic farms in New Zealand. His time in graduate school cultivated a broad vision for the restoration of living soils, as well as the power of research and community engagement to address global food production challenges. After completing his PhD at Oklahoma State University, Adam spent five years as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and University Instructor. He joined the Soil Food Web School in 2021, following his dream to help regenerate soils, improve human nutrition, and heal our planet.

The Soil Food Web School’s mission is to empower individuals and organizations to regenerate the soils in their communities. The Soil Food Web Approach can dramatically accelerate soil regeneration projects by focussing on the soil biome. This can boost the productivity of farms, provide super-nutritious foods, protect and purify waterways, and reduce the effects of Climate Change. No background in farming or biology is required for our Foundation Courses. Classes are online & self-paced, and students are supported by highly-trained Soil Food Web School mentors.
Over the last four decades, Dr. Elaine Ingham has advanced our knowledge of the Soil Food Web. An internationally-recognized leader in soil microbiology, Dr. Ingham has collaborated with other scientists and with farmers around the world to further our understanding of how soil organisms work together and with plants. Dr. Ingham is an author of the USDA’s Soil Biology Primer and a founder of the Soil Food Web School.

Greetings from Bohol Philippines!
Don't be surprised if you're called racist mysagonist fringe minority, with unacceptable views, by big food and chemical giants like Bayer.💚
This knowledge can greatly help with greening the degraded area's and desserts.
I think the poisonous Sulphur tuft compete and overcome honey mushrooms. Can help save a tree?
Hello from Michigan!
Let’s go fungi’s and girls. Lol
This is an extremely interesting lecture it covers a lot of what I have touched on in my studies of growing fungi and plants. I have learned a bit about the Korean natural farming for instance I learnt how to produce lactose ferment that I used to try and eradicate diseases on plants, I was advised to add some bacteria (compost tea) to my lactose ferment so that the eradication of the diseases would take better effect, that has been proved right ,the plant has managed to keep a lot more or it leaves and also produced an edible fruit. But as yet my experiment is not completely successful as I am studying the soil food web and I have a lot more to learn. I have grown fungi on saw dust, straws and logs. I would like to hear your thought on the fungi that grows in my hot compost bin? It is a bin that is encouraged to remain hot at all times. UK
I live in the UK I had a large honey fungus crop around my Lans Prince Albert apple tree, I thought that was the end of my old apple tree I scattered lots of crush eggshell around the tree then I place a plastic bin next to the tree and added most of my chicken manure to that compost bin almost half full. To my absolute surprise the apple tree became stronger and produced large apple and has been successful ever since. The eggshell was to get more calcium into the soil to eradicate the brown spots on apples that got rid of the brown spot from my apples. Thanks for this video it is very informative.
Hello uhi 🌱
Thank you great information
You had me at "vomit steak"…LOL This was absolutely fascinating! I'm a SFW student and love learning more of fungal inoculants. Thank you for sharing!
I am currently making bio char, and would love to hear your thoughts on inoculating, bio char .
To combat that Nitrogen robbing, I put a nitrogen layer just below the mulch,
Listening from Ireland, thank you.
I am supprised that neither of you mentioned the johnson-su bioreactor, which is the best way to create fungi rich compost.
Thanks, I thought wood chips automatically had all the fungi I would need to rehabilitate my backyard into productive garden soil. But, no, there's more to it than that. Gonna "steal" some stuff from nearby "forests".
Mad respect to those who share and show the pathway to regeneration. Thank you, Dr. Cobb, Kyle, & "FSW et al," for sharing invaluable info and tech, benefiting the world and folks like myself- FSW-minded folks on fixed incomes.
Soaking it in.
RIP Dr Tom Volk
