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!
Thanks for listening and we will do our best to do more fungi!
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!
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.
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!
Gia is already excited about our next fungi podcast!
Lion’s Mane is delicious sautéed in butter with just a sprinkling of salt!
LOVE your podcast! Thank you for helping me understand and appreciate the natural world.
A BIG thank you to you & Gia for all the fantastic information about this wonderful mushroom ( aka fruiting body ), I learned so much and want to delve into the study of fungi even more.
Thanks for sending your Love of the podcast our way! It means so much to us to know that you learned a few things and are inspired to learn more!
