Season 3, Episode 7 – TMN-Podcast
🎙️ Fungal Justice & Forager Dreams
Hosted by Nova Mycelia, featuring Myco Capman & Mira Fungwell

In this spore-charged episode of The Mushroom Network Podcast, we're taking Myco-Listeners on a powerful two-part journey through the fungal realms of politics and nature.

🌐 Part One: Florida’s Proposed Spore Ban
A controversial agricultural bill in Florida is gaining momentum—and hidden within it is a clause that could criminalize the transport, sale, or gifting of mushroom spores and mycelium capable of producing psychedelic compounds. Despite the fact that spores are federally legal and contain no active compounds, the proposed law threatens to undercut scientific research, educational pursuits, and spiritual practices across the state. We unpack the implications, contradictions, and growing pushback from the mycology community in this critical Myco-Deep-Dive.

🌸 Part Two: Spring Foraging – A Guide to Spring Mushrooms
As the seasons shift and soil warms, mushroom hunters across North America know what time it is—foraging season. In our second Myco-Deep-Dive, we explore the most sought-after mushrooms of spring: the elusive morel, the dependable oyster, and the regal Spring King bolete. Discover where they fruit, how to identify them, their culinary magic, and how to stay safe among the toxic lookalikes that often share their habitats. Whether you’re in the humid wilds of Florida or the cool mountain air of the Northwest, this guide is your springboard to seasonal fungal exploration.

🎧 Plus, stick around after the Deep-Dives as Nova Mycelia opens the spore gates to another round of Fungal Jams, a curated music session powered by The Mushroom Network and Myco-Verse Productions.

From legal battles to leaf-litter treasures, this episode delivers education, entertainment, and spore-fueled empowerment like only TMN can.
