This week, the team learns there is more than one way to say fungi!

But just to be sure, Jeff introduces the show’s very first guest , none other than  the OG of all things mycorrhizal fungi, Dr. Mike Amaranthus.

They discuss some science, some folklore, and even dive into Dr. Mike's excellent book Fry, Thrive, or Die: A Fun Pocket Guide to 50 Common, Delicious, Hallucinogenic, Medicinal, and Poisonous Mushrooms of the Western United States.
