What if we are mushrooms having a human experience?
In this conversation called ‘Mushrooms and Mycelium: Nature's Network’, Amisha Tala Oak meets Darren le Baron, an educator specialising in mycology and psychedelic research based in the UK and the Caribbean.
Known around the world for his Shroomshop Master classes and mushroom educational programs, he is a keen cultivator and teacher who is passionate about sharing his research and findings on ethnomycology, ancient African plant medicines and their various applications.
Together we explore:
:: How understanding yourself can help you build deeper, more meaningful connections.
:: The challenges young people face in finding their purpose—and how to guide them.
:: What mushrooms and mycelium can teach you about connection and renewal.
:: How you are a mushroom having a human experience.
:: How you, as a gardener or nature-lover, play a vital role in our planet's future.
:: How money really does grow on trees.
:: Why plant wisdom is essential for your survival and living in harmony with the Earth.
(Please note despite much research and clinical trials of the benefits, one of the mushrooms we discuss in this conversation are illegal in some countries)
