The Mushroom Renaissance with Eugenia Bone
<p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://fungiacademy.com/mushroom-membership/" target="_blank"><b>🍄Support this podcast by becoming a Mushroom Member</b></a><br /><br />Eugenia Bone is the award‑winning author or coauthor of nine books on biology and food, including the category staple <i>Mycophilia</i>, the <i>Fantastic Fungi Community Cookbook</i>, and most recently <i>Have a Good Trip: Exploring the Magic Mushroom Experience</i>. Her work has appeared in outlets such as <i>The New York Times</i>, <i>Saveur</i>, <i>BBC Science</i>, and <i>The Wall Street Journal</i>, and she has lectured widely at institutions including the New York Public Library, Denver Botanical Garden, and Telluride Mushroom Festival. A former president of the New York Mycological Society and faculty member at the New York Botanical Garden, she continues to teach and write on food, fungi, microbes, and psychedelics.<br /><br />In this episode we explore the evolution of mushroom culture and mycology over the past decade and a half. Eugenia reflects on how public interest in fungi has expanded, particularly during the pandemic, when outdoor foraging and curiosity about psychedelics converged. We talked about the growing diversity of mycological clubs, the tension between cultural enthusiasm and limited academic pathways, and the role of curiosity in driving both science and writing. Our conversation also touched on the challenges of science communication, the accessibility of amateur mycology, and how fungi serve as a gateway to ecological thinking and interconnectedness.</p><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/eugeniagbone/" target="_blank"><b>🪷Follow Eugenia</b></a><br /><b>📝</b><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://substack.com/@eugeniabone?" target="_blank"><b>Check out her Substack</b></a></p><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://fungiacademy.com/in-person-mushroom-immersions/" target="_blank"><b>🌋Join one of our Immersions</b></a></p>

Fungal Intelligence with Taye Bright

From childhood curiosity in Florida swamps to discovering mycology after college, she shares how fungi reshaped her understanding of life and guided her path as a scientist and teacher.</p><p>This episode explores how mycelial networks communicate, whether fungi “decide” through chemical signals, and how truth in biology is always shifting with new discoveries.
