Mushroom Hour

We go crawling through the forests of Madgascar surveying the diversity of marasmius mushrooms and research the inner life of monkeyflowers and their symbiotic fungal endophytes with researcher and educator Jackie Shay!

We explore the Rocky Mountain range of Colorado to hunt for mushrooms and wild plants with Orion Aon, the founder of Forage Colorado!

Our journey begins with a culturally-transformative history of anthropology and ethnobotany before we travel to the outrageously diverse and vibrant nation of Colombia to navigate it's great river, the Magdalena, with legendary explorer & anthropologist Wade Davis!
