Great episode. Love this podcast
I've listened to your podcasts to fall asleep for about a year and a half now. something about falling asleep to someone talking about mushrooms and other fungi is just so soothing and fungi are also just really cool. I don't think I could sleep without this podcast.
Absolutely fascinating! There's so much more to the amazing world of fungi than those butter smothered, sliced & sauteed mushrooms served in side dishes or scrambled in our breakfast omelettes.
This quickly became my favourite podcast. You guys never fail to explore areas of the Fungal world that I never knew existed, and blow your listeners away with amazing information every episode. A go to method of tapping into the mycelial mindset. Thanks so mush!
So mush Content!!! Nice job
uuuummmmm, but why?
25:20 - A lichen growing in Ecuador, Dictyonema huaorani, might produce psychoactive drugs. Among those substances are 5-MeO-DMT and psilocybin (4-PO-DMT).
You guys are so awesome! Thank you so muchO for sharing yourselves! I am inspired.
