  • Summary

  • Most of us know very little about fungi in contrast to their vast presence and integral role in our world. Sometimes called, "the earth's internet" fungi, specifically mycelium connect literally everything. They are the ultimate recyclers, decomposing and upcycling waste into food, medicine, building materials, and more.  

    Our guest, Peter McCoy recognized his passion for fungi while still in high school. Around that same time, he also began to recognize the profound lack of education and awareness around them.  Peter's personal journey to learn about this mysterious and integral kingdom led him to eventually write the most comprehensive singular work on fungi to date.  His book, "Radical Mycology: A Treatise on Seeing & Working With Fungi" has sparked events, film fests, online educational tools, and a startup called Mycocycle.  We asked Perter many questions in this ep and learned, we have so much more to learn about these incredible (sometimes edible) organisms.
