This 40 minutes has A LOT packed in.
This month I’m chatting to DH42, who has been researching a couple of native species of little-known psilocybin mushrooms that grow on animal dung. In the process, he has set up online communities where people photograph, discuss and help identify these fungi. He drops some pretty excellent fungi facts, as well as chatting around the heroes of modern mycology in Scotland and further afield.
