In this episode of Know Your Food, Tivoli Mushrooms farm director Cory Nellisen joins us to share his path from experimenting with fungi in a garage to managing daily operations at one of New York’s leading mushroom farms. We explore the realities of mushroom cultivation—balancing the science of mycology with production demands, the patience it takes to keep mushrooms thriving year-round, and how trust and teamwork shape life on the farm. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to grow mushrooms for a city like New York, this conversation pulls back the curtain.This conversation was recorded live as part of our Know Your Food event series at our warehouse in Bushwick.
