When you read this episode title, I’m going to guess that you’re mind, like many of us, went to magic mushrooms - or mushrooms used as psychedelics. And even though I will briefly talk about the use of psychedelic mushrooms as a form of therapy, I hope you will learn that mushrooms are much more than that in this episode. They are part of a network of fungi essential to our world and highly underrated and misunderstood at that.
There are millions of different species of fungi - and they play a crucial part in our ecology. They solve many problems ranging from ecological destruction to PTSD.
Consider this your crash course on mushrooms! In this episode, we will learn about the magic of the different uses of fungi, specifically mushrooms, for food, medicine, organic pesticides, bioremediation, and even promoting equitable economic growth worldwide.
