Weaving through the redwood forests, we find the Santa Cruz Mountain Mushroom Festival and immerse ourselves in a gathering of mushroom foragers, cultivators and educators to celebrate ever-evolving mycophile culture while we learn about the cutting edge of commercial mushroom farming with Kyle Garrone of Farwest Fungi!
We spiral into a veritable fungal vortex as we join mycophiles from all over at the All Things Fungi Festival to explore biofluorescence, macrophotography, myxomycetes and more with festival founders Jana Nicole and Max Mudie!
We explore the wilds and seasons of Northern California, sniff for truffles and explore uncertain futures with Maria Finn - wild food educator, mycophagist and author of the new book "Forage.Gather.Feast"!
