More about fungi please! I love your podcasts and often listen more than once. I have found all of your podcasts to be fascinating and informative. I always learn something new. Thank you!

I loved this episode! My suggestion for future fungi to talk about are Turkey Tail mushrooms. These are the first mushrooms I remember identifying as a kid, and I seem to see them wherever I go! When I go hiking with my nephews, they love to find these and point them out. I teach 8th grade science, and always make sure that my students learn this one. Thanks!
Bob
Turkey Tails are a great suggestion. Hopefully we can make it happen.

Bob and Gia make learning about mushrooms exciting!!! It’s wonderful to learn something new about nature that I have often taken for granted. I am looking forward to your future podcasts.
Bob
If anyone can make a subject exciting it is Gia! Glad you are learning something new!

Great podcast! My fungi story is, on a trip to the Montreal Quebec farmers market there was a vendor with fabulous mushrooms and I kept rambling on about how Gia would love this place!
Interesting podcast. I went down a few rabbit holes of mushroom images. Another fungi podcast would be welcomed!
Bob
Gia is already excited about our next fungi podcast!

Lion’s Mane is delicious sautéed in butter with just a sprinkling of salt!
