About Basidium Equilibrium

About – Basidium Equilibrium

Let me tell you about Basidium Equilibrium. I’m Brandon, founder, lifelong mycophile, and the guy who still gets goosebumps every time a fresh plate bursts with mycelium. I began tinkering with spores in 2015, driven by the hidden logic of mushroom genetics. Somewhere between late-night agar pours and the first clean isolate, I found that fungi had life-changing effects on me. Working with them taught me patience, precision, and a deep respect for nature’s quieter powers. It also provided an avenue for personal healing in ways I never expected.

These lessons shape everything we do at Basidium Equilibrium:
Rock-solid genetics – No strain leaves the lab until it’s isolated, stress-tested, and proven to be clean, consistent, and resilient.
Community – We actively support decriminalization efforts that bring safe, legal access to veterans and other qualified individuals.
Education that matters – From speaking at the Entheogen Expo (SoCal) and Oklahoma Fungi Fest to being featured in High Times Magazine, we share our knowledge and insights.
Giving back – We support research and advocacy groups like the Beckley Foundation, MAPS, Heroic Hearts Project, and Veterans Walk and Talk.
