Holy shiitake, today’s episode is one you won’t wanna skip! Mushroom expert Danielle Stevenson is currently getting her graduates in Environmental Toxicology, and today she shares her knowledge and research about all things fungi! Learn about how mushrooms communicate via the World Wood Web, how they’re being used to treat PTSD, anxiety and even oil spills, and why mushrooms caused so much trouble during the construction of the U.S railroad system that they ended up being banned! She shares how she pairs her witchiness with her love for fungi, and be sure to listen to the end where Danielle makes a case for mushrooms being queer Scorpios!
