Who's ready to get down N nerdy? I'm KK a plant biologist with a thirst for mycology. I am here to introduce Flora Funga Podcast, where I help bridge the knowledge gap between plants, fungi, and humans. I uncover all the underrated nerdy topics like how Lions Mane increases memory & focus or how fungi can break up and digest plastics. Did you know that the smell of fresh cut grass is the plants screaming for help? Learn all about how plants and fungi communicate above and below soil.
