Today, we sink deeper into the forest’s mysteries—guided by the ancient wisdom of the woods and the healing secrets of mushrooms.

In this episode, we journey into the world of the shiitake—a mushroom treasured not only for its deep, earthy flavor, but for its remarkable healing powers. Revered in the tales of old as an elixir of vitality and longevity, shiitake weaves together nourishment and resilience, lending strength to body and spirit. It stands as a guardian in the woodland shade, transforming decay into renewal and offering its gifts of immunity, balance, and vibrant life.

Joining us among moss and morning dew is Moritz Schmid, better known as “Into the Woods.” As a mushroom expert, certified forest bathing guide, and woodland artist, Moritz has spent his life listening to the forest’s stories and sharing its quiet magic with others. Together, we’ll trace the path of shiitake through myth and medicine, discovering how this mushroom, shaped by earth and time, can be an ally for healing and wonder.

So, bring a cup of tea and let your senses open—we invite you to walk with us, as Herby at Heart steps into the shade-dappled world of mushrooms and the hands that know them best.
