In this episode, we venture into the fascinating world of fungi with Kaitlyn Kuehn (KK), a plant biologist and host of the Flora Funga Podcast. With an infectious passion for plants, mushrooms, and the ecosystems that connect them, KK explores how fungi shape our health, our environment, and even the way life communicates beneath the surface.
From medicinal mushrooms and microdosing to the complex plant-fungal symbiosis, KK weaves together science, storytelling, and personal insight to reveal how these hidden organisms are transforming medicine, sustainability, and spirituality.
In this episode, we discuss:
· How fungi can help solve real-world challenges in health and ecology.
· The most powerful mushrooms for reducing inflammation and boosting the nervous system.
· KK's personal healing journey with rheumatoid arthritis.
· The myths and misconceptions surrounding mushrooms and mycology.
Whether you're a seasoned mycophile or simply curious about nature's hidden healers, this conversation will deepen your appreciation for fungi as a bridge between science, health, and the spirit of the Earth.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
