It turns out that you owe a LOT to fungus. Specifically, you get more health and flavor in your food than you ever imagined from something called mycorrhizal fungi. 

In this episode, we dive into the following:

  • What are these magical fungi?
  • Why is it so crucial for creating healthy soil and flavorful food?
  • What kind of farming disrupts it?
  • What kind of farming enhances it?
  • How do these fungi change the flavor of food?

We dive into the topic using the following resources:

  1. A clip from a presentation from Dr. Jill Clapperton on soil health
  2. Farmer Gail Fuller from Kansas
  3. Book: What Your Food Ate by David R. Montgomery & Anne Bikle
  4. Book: Teaming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels & Wayne Lewis
