    The Mushroom Hour Podcast

    Hi there…welcome to Mushroom Hour. Listen in as we venture into kingdom fungi with unique and beautiful humans who all share a passion for mushrooms. We’ll go forage for wild mushrooms, explore their potency as nature’s medicines, become citizen mycologists, transform human consciousness and learn how mushrooms inspired art, spirituality and culture throughout our history. There are so many ways that mushrooms can benefit (wo)mankind – we just need to tap into the mycelium network and let them share their gifts. Excited to have you along for the journey! Mush Love
