In 2025, Flora Funga Podcast didn’t just grow—it spread: according to my Spotify for Podcasters + YouTube Studio stats, 26 people had Flora Funga as their #1 show, 310 had it in their Top 10, and 186 had it in their Top 5—plus 5% hit play within 24 hours and 25% of you binged 2+ episodes a day (mycelium behavior). The biggest Spotify breakout was Ep 179: “WTF is a Fungarium?! Tour with Matthew Smith” 260% jump vs other episodes),

 with another standout being Ep 190: “MEET THE PLUG: Nourish Cap”

—and we were played in 

51 countries (top: US, Canada, UK, Australia, Sweden)… but I want MORE. YouTube stats were tougher because my old account got banned, but since launching @florafungatv in October,

The top episodes were Ep 182: Paul Stamets Interview

Ep 178: “5 Ways Fungi Are Closer to Humans Than Plants”

Ep 175: “What does Fashion and Mushrooms Have in Common?”

Ep 172: “If you Sell Mushroom Products you’re Going to Need this!”

Ep 170: “How to Forage for Mushrooms without Dying”

Ep 183: “Why Are we NOT Roasting Chestnuts Anymore?”

Ep 166: “Rooted in Biodiversity…” (Biodiversity Documentary)

Ep 177: “Death by Death Cap Mushroom | True Crime”

—so tell me: 

what was your #1 episode of 2025, and what country are you listening from?

 “Zero sugar” doesn’t always mean zero impact. 👀🥤
 This week on Flora Funga, I break down a 1-year aspartame study in mice that found something wild: the mice got leaner (less body fat)… but researchers also saw signs of heart remodeling and changes in brain metabolism, with subtle differences on a memory/learning test (Barnes maze).

Edward Crowe joins KK to explore his deeply personal relationship with psychedelic mushrooms—spanning visionary experiences, ceremonial practices, and the role fungi play in his creative and healing journey. Edward shares vivid stories from his psychedelic visions, including cultural and ancestral imagery, and explains how these experiences have shaped his worldview.

He walks KK through his approach to facilitating one-on-one ceremonies grounded in intention, safety, and respect, highlighting practices such as outdoor sacred spaces, crystal work, and yearly participation. Edward also discusses his dosing philosophy, the importance of purging, microdosing lessons, and how mushroom use has positively supported his focus and path in the music industry.

The conversation dives into Edward’s “mushroom healing journey,” where a series of synchronicities reinforced his belief that mushrooms find the people who need them.  New website launch, upcoming projects like Murder Cigars and his photography collaborations, and his belief in a “psychic mycelial network” connecting fellow travelers.

We close with a candid discussion about psychedelic safety, the risks of commercialization, and why education and integrity must remain central to mushroom work.

New research from Taiwan revealing a rare forest fungus with remarkable anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Discovered growing on the endangered stout camphor tree, this cultivated mushroom produces a compound called N50 F2, a sulfated galacto-glucan that blocks inflammation signals and halts cancer cell proliferation—particularly in lung cancer—by triggering programmed cell death. The study highlights how this fungus bridges traditional medicine and modern biotechnology, showing potential for future health supplements and cancer therapies. KK ties it back to her own journey with inflammation management using mushrooms like reishi, chaga, and turkey tail, and encourages listeners to explore this discovery, stay curious, and keep “lowering inflammation one mushroom at a time.” 

Fungus compound shows promise in cancer and inflammation
