You might not notice on a daily basis, but we humans are growing a TON of mushrooms. Of course the common button mushroom and oyster mushrooms take up a large portion of this total, but there are lots of other really interesting mushrooms that you really should know about! In this episode of the mushroom show, we're covering over 20 different mushrooms grown around the world for food and medicine. We are also chatting about the largest mushroom art foraging event that took place this last weekend, plus discussing some new research showing that mushrooms might be acting as a major carbon sink for the world.

Amanita phalloides (AKA the Death Cap Mushroom) is long known as the world's deadliest mushroom. It produces one of the most toxic substances in the natural world, and is responsible for up to 90% of all fatal mushroom poisonings worldwide. But scientists may have just found an antidote! In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we investigate whether or not this new discovery really is a cure for amatoxin poisoning. We also dig into some new research finally proving mushrooms are "cool", check out some newly developed mushroom coffins, and explore the reasons why "boring" old button mushrooms are actually pretty darn interesting.
