Originally from Cambridge, MA, Dr. Gordon Walker moved to California to  attend UC Santa Cruz where he developed a passion for scuba diving and  home brewing. His interest in yeast and fermentation inspired him to attend  UC Davis for graduate school where his doctoral research focused on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in wine production.

After finishing his PhD, Gordon spent time in New Zealand where he rekindled a childhood interest in mushrooms and began posting pictures of  his finds to social media as @fascinatedbyfungi. Gordon now shares his passion for fungi and fermentation with over 3 million followers worldwide. He is dedicated to educating people about the biology, chemistry, and ecology of mushrooms as well as the culinary and cultural practices surrounding them.”
