Sam 'theFungi"Sam McChesney

My name is Sam’theFungi’ McChesney. I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX and have lived in this region my whole life. I am one of the founding members and part of the leadership of the Central Texas Mycological Society. I host Ecology walks with the society, create edible mushroom beds, lead garden inoculations, and teach introduction to mycology and cultivation classes in and around central Texas.

I am passionate about ancestral medicine, specifically native flora and fungi.

“My mission is to end myco-phobia, transform myco-stigma, and to connect people through the power of mycelium.”
