Greetings everyone. This is Tim Leavitt from Cedar Falls Mycology, Welcome to Episode #14 of the podcast where we ask ourselves not what the fungi can do for us... But what we can do for the fungi. Join us as we explore the world of Fungi... a world not more complicated than you think but more complicated than you can think.
This episodes guest is Britt Bunyard. This is really the episode we have all been waiting for. While most of our previous guests including Eugenia and Dr. Walker have stated they are not mycologists. Our guest today is by all definitions a mycologist. Britt Bunyard is the founder and editor in chief of the magazine “Fungi” the widest circulating mycology magazine in North America. He is also the executive director of the Telluride Mushroom Festival. He has authored several books including “Amanita’s Of North America”, “Mushrooms and Macrofungi of Ohio and Midwestern States”, “The Beginners Guide to Mushrooms” and “the Little Book of Mushrooms.” Today we are going to discuss an array of topics including, ethical harvesting and his 2022 definitive book titled “The Lives of Fungi, A Natural History of Our Planets Decomposers.”
