Kathryn Crew

Kathryn Crew raised her family as a Certified Dietary Manager. Since then, she has been a Mushroom Farmer/ Coach/Consultant, Production Horticulture Specialist, and is a former Community Education Instructor at Yavapai College in Prescott Arizona. She is also a member of the Soil Science Society of America, Arizona Mushroom Growers Association, Slow Food, the Northern Arizona Climate Change Alliance, the Prescott and Prescott Valley Chambers of Commerce, the Quad Cities winner of Moonshot, and our Founder.

Her Story

For 11 years, she farmed culinary and functional mushrooms. In the last 6 years, her interest turned to what the mushroom mycelium does to regenerate the soil. She studied it. and experimented with deploying mushroom mycelium into sickly soil. The results were astounding. The fungi quickly rebuilt the soil microbiome (putting soil back together) as well as remediating toxic soil resulting in disassembled and devoured hydrocarbons. She knew from the research that the ag chemicals could also be denatured, and the fungi could then call in the missing members of the soil microbiome (billions of bacteria and yeasts). Then, her mother was diagnosed with cancer directly linked to DDT. That is when she started to go all-in on developing a business to educate farmers, orchardists, and viticulturists about how a restored soil microbiome could serve them by retaining water by 251%, reducing ag chemical inputs by 90%, and much more.

Why Fungi/Mushrooms & Soil Restoration?

Every ecosystem on Earth ultimately reports to what she calls the "Department of Soil." In the vast majority of the United States, soil (that should be a living ecosystem), is in critical condition.  Native mushroom mycelium doesn't just help soil a little; It rebuilds the living soil microbiome that chemical agriculture has spent decades destroying. Kathryn's work matters for your all soil -  backyard garden, farms, orchards, vineyards — and for every person who eats food grown in chemically damaged ground.

Kathryn's company, MycoEarth, LLC, cultivates the fungi native to your area to produce out Fungi First Soil Inoculant and helps Arizona growers to deploy it into the soil - regenerating the soil in 9 to 12 months instead of the typical 3-5 years.
