    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.

    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!

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