Let’s talk Mushrooms: from Shitake stories, and magic mushrooms, to the People’s “shrooms”  and more. 

This week, we’re talking about foods you probably wouldn’t expect to get too excited about: mushrooms. However, those funky spongy fungi have stories, secrets, and flavors that will give you something different to talk about at your next dinner table conversation. 

In this episode of Family Tree Food & Stories, Nancy May and Sylvia Lovely become the Fungi Gals (ha, ha, seriously!) and share fall comfort foods, mushroom myths, and a few “did-they-really-just-say-that?” moments.

👍Here are a few extra hints of what you'll learn in this episode: 

• The true story of the mushroom that sold for over $300,000
• Why  Nancy’s new puppy, BB, could turn into the best hunting nose in FL for these dinner treats.
• How a mushroom helped a widower through his grief.
• Why pigs got fired as truffle hunters.
• How a mushroom turned into a serious multi-million dollar side hustle

If you love a good fall recipe, a weird-but-true food story, or want to feel a little more grounded this season (pun intended here), this episode of Family Tree Food & Stories is for you.

And hey, don’t be surprised if you start eyeing your backyard for mushrooms and thinking, how much can I sell this one for? 

👉 Listen, share, and discuss this episode with family and friends. Together, let’s keep alive the promise to “Never Forget”—and to remember that every meal tells a story, and every story is a way to heal.
