In this week's episode, the Flora Fellas get ready for spooky season by discussing the three scariest boogeymen of the plant world: poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac...but are they really all that scary? The duo goes into detail on how to identify the three terrors, varieties that can sneak up on you in the woods by coming in different shapes and sizes, and what your chances are of running into each; as well as telling some hilarious horror stories of their own from interacting with these plants. And a brief bonus topic: are snakes and pastries really something to be that afraid of?

Thank you for listening!
