Podcasts about fungi

Fungi that are resistant to antifungal drugs have been very much in the news and even the subject of the hugely popular television program, The Last of Us. We talk with two experts in mycology and fungal susceptibility testing about the recent descriptions of terbinafine-resistant dermatophytes in the United States. Some of the questions we will address include:  • What are the manifestations of infections caused by terbinafine-resistant dermatophytes?  • What species, including novel species, of dermatophytes are more commonly resistant to terbinafine?  • How common is terbinafine resistance in dermatophytes in the U.S.? Guests: - Dr. Shawn Lockhart - Senior Advisor at the Centers for Disease Control - Dr. Nathan Wiederhold - Director of the Fungus Testing Laboratory and a Professor at UT Health San Antonio.

From best-selling novels like "Mexican Gothic" to blockbuster media hits like "The Last of Us," it seems like everyone is buzzing about fungi these days. Think of it as your houseplant's weirder, spongier, and creepier cousin. Fungi have a significant role in decomposition, which adds to their eerie reputation. However, they can also serve as food, a recreational drug, a source of medicine, and even a multi-story residence if you happen to be a Smurf. As we delve deeper into the world of fungi, things get even stranger. Did you know that the largest organism on Earth is a fungus? Fungi can have thousands of different genders, and they reproduce and communicate in ways that we are just starting to comprehend. Yet, there are dedicated individuals attempting to unravel these mysteries. Meet Dr. Leslie Holland, a mycologist specializing in the study of fungi. She joined the University of Wisconsin's Department of Plant Pathology in 2020, where she focuses on researching how fungal diseases impact fruit crops. With a teaching schedule that most professors can only dream of, Dr. Holland is the perfect person to demystify the fascinating world of fungi. Join me for an enlightening conversation with her as we separate fact from fiction when it comes to these remarkable organisms.

It feeds on flesh, it kills but can't be killed, and it's coming for your fruits and veggies. That's right, I'm talking about Botrytis cinerea, a widespread necrotrophic fungal pathogen that affects over 200 different plant species, including common food crops. Tune in to learn: What this fungus looks like, how it's transmitted to plants, and what happens once a plant is infected Plant defenses – how plants use small interfering RNA and extracellular vesicles to disrupt the production of fungal proteins What allows certain plants to grow toward the sun New insight into what might enable this fungus to be so widespread and difficult to kill PhD candidate at UC Riverside, Claire Whitaker, spends her days studying the relationship between this deadly fungus and its host, using Arabidopsis thaliana as the model plant in the lab. More specifically, she's looking for certain fungal proteins responsible for the virulence of the fungus. She discusses the mode of transmission and method of attack, the use of fungicides, plant physiology, extracellular vesicles, and much more. Press play for all the details.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Patricia Kaishian, a mycologist, writer, and educator who gestures to mycology as a queer discipline. Situated as a queer member of Armenian diaspora, Patricia threads connections between the often misunderstood and mis/under-represented displacement of mycelial bodes and her own. Offering a glimpse of the complex, fascinating, taxonomy-defying world of fungi, Patricia invokes reflections on how we can learn from, dream with, and reclaim queer existence with our fungal kin. What stories of diversity, fluidity, and resilience do they sporulate? What lessons can they inspire in an age of ecological collapse? And what narratives can they invite us to decompose and re-birth? (The musical offering featured in this episode is When You Carried Me by Oropendola.)

Have you ever been unable to breathe through your nose?Isn't it THE WORST?? We've talked on this podcast with other experts (including Dr. Dave Stukus, pediatric allergist about seasonal allergies and our beloved pharmacist Greg Castelli about OTC meds to try for cold symptoms)- but what do you do when you've tried the “regular” stuff to unclog your nose, and IT'S NOT WORKING???According to University of Michigan Medicine, nasal and sinus disease affects 31 million Americans, and accounts for 16 million outpatient visits annually in the US. The obstruction of airflow can come from a variety of sources, and the common factor is usually inflammation and swelling of the mucosal lining of the nasal and sinus passages. Sometimes other things can physically obstruct the flow of air, like polyps, or a deviated septum, or sometimes, (if you're Julie's big sister and its the mid-1980s) a Mike and Ike. So what should we do if we find ourselves mouth-breathing?? What if the neti-pot is a NETI-NOT? (and you're full of NETI-SNOT??)Welcome to our esteemed guest, Otolaryngologist, Dr. Michelle Fisher!Dr. Fisher is a board certified Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngologist who practices near Tampa, FL at Florida ENT and Allergy. She studied at Emory for UG, Rush for med school (with Julie!) and did residency at Medical College of Georgia. She has authored several publications in the field of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and has lectured at conferences and national meetings. She is also an all-around badass and lovely human being :)Key topics in this episode include:What are the main root causes of nasal passage obstruction?What kinds of physical obstructions get in the way of keeping the nasal passages open?What are nasal polyps? Why do they occur?How much does inflammation come into play? How can we treat it/prevent it?What is chronic sinusitis? Who gets it? What are the risk factors?What causes it? Bacteria? Viruses? Fungi?Does sinusitis always need antibiotics?How can we treat it? When is surgery indicated?What is a deviated septum? Why does this happen? How can it be treated?What are some of the simple, in-the-office treatments/procedures that ENTs (Otolaryngologists) can do to treat these issues?Learn more about Dr. Fisher on her profile, HERE.

Did you know that there are thousands of undiscovered species of fungi around the world? In Nepal alone, it is estimated we know only 1/10 of all species! What does this knowledge gap mean for science, nature and people? And why do fungi matter? In this episode, Brit speaks to a mushroom scientist from Nepal, Dr. Shiva Devkota, about climbing Mount Everest in search of new species and new knowledge.   To find out more about IPBES, head to www.ipbes.net or follow us on social media @IPBES.

Matthew Gates of PESTAPALOOZA is back on GrowCast! Today he joins the program to talk about biological controls- specifically bio control sprays. Gates shares his thoughts on biocontrols in general, and talks about how we need to take a specific approach to selection and application of these products. He talks about pest killing fungi, and how different species tend to operate. Gates goes on to extrapolate on a few of the most common biocontrol sprays, including BTI, BTK, spinosad, and more. This leads to a conversation about biocontrol extracts versus living applications, and how things like enzymes and bacterium extracts differ. Matthew wraps the show by discussing specific applications of these species, and how to work them into your IPM schedule without having redundancies or knocking back your own beneficial bio controls...

Today on Mushroom Hour we are joined by magnanimous mycological scholar Dr. Keith Seifert, adjunct professor in the biology department at Carleton University. Dr. Seifert has spent more than forty years studying fungi on five continents. At Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, he did research on microscopic fungi from farms, forests, food and the built environment to reduce toxins and diseases affecting plants and animals. He was president of the International Mycological Association, an executive editor of Mycologia, and associate editor of several other scientific journals. Dr. Seifert is here to dive into his debut book The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi – Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes and Bodies. In this marvelous book, he invites us to see our world as one full of microbial ecological succession, symbiotic interactions with fungi and maybe an understanding that this epoch could truly be considered the mycocene.   TOPICS COVERED:   Descending into the Hidden Kingdom   Spectrum of Symbioses   The Lives of Endophytes    Holobionts   Fungi and Human Agriculture   Mycotoxins   Ancient History of Fungal Domestication – Beer, Bread & Cheese   Rot to Fermentation Continuum   Invasive Species, Biopiracy, Biocolonialism   Human Houses as Ecosystems   Mold Colonies in Our Homes   Dandruff, Candida & Fungi in the Human Microbiome   Amphibian Apocalypse   A World Powered by Fungi    EPISODE RESOURCES:   "The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi": https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-hidden-kingdom-of-fungi-exploring-the-microscopic-world-in-our-forests-homes-and-bodies-keith-seifert/17251543?ean=9781771646628   Keith Seifert iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/77976   Keith Seifert ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Keith-Seifert-2   "I Contain Multitudes": https://edyong.me/i-contain-multitudes   Phytophthora infestans (Irish Potato Famine Pathogen): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytophthora_infestans   UG-99 Wheat Rust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ug99   Escovopsis aspergilloides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escovopsis_aspergilloides   "When Darwin Comes to Town": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34930832-darwin-comes-to-town   "The Song of the Dodo": https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12868099

Jason and Mike talk about an article in Nature that breaks down future sustainable protein sources for human kind. 

Death cap mushrooms, scientifically known as Amanita phalloides, are highly toxic and potentially deadly fungi that belong to the Amanita genus. They are known for their resemblance to edible mushrooms, making them particularly dangerous as they can be mistaken for safe varieties.Death cap mushrooms contain powerful toxins, including amatoxins, which can cause severe liver and kidney damage if ingested.Symptoms of poisoning usually do not appear immediately, often taking 6 to 12 hours or more to manifest. Initial symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.As the toxins progress, they can lead to liver and kidney failure, which can be fatal without prompt medical intervention.Death cap mushrooms are found in various parts of the world and are associated with oak, chestnut, and other trees.According to sources the woman, Erin Patterson, who is accused of poisoning her in laws with the deadly fungi, was a forager of Fungi and she would know the diffrence between what mushrooms you can consume and what mushrooms you cannot. The police are still investigating and no arrests have yet been made.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com(commercial at 8:04)source:Deadly mushroom lunch twist as it emerges fatal cook Erin Patterson was an 'experienced forager' of wild fungi | Daily Mail OnlineThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5003294/advertisement

Atmospheric carbon is a currency that plants use to “buy” nutrients from fungi in the soil. To find out where this economy will go next, the devil is in the details. And the details are in the dirt.

Like us, plants and fungi have complex economies. By burning fossil fuels, we’ve been devaluing their currency.

Irene Antonez is a Prague based Russian/Ukrainian artist and musician, who works in the genre of bio art and botanical/mycological illustration with a focus on fungi and microorganisms. She holds two Masters' degrees: in Future Design and in Fine Art. Irene draws inspiration from her microscopic research of fungi as well as mushroom hunting, ethnomycology, ethnobotany, old scientific illustration books as well as from her family history of " mushroom obsession". She uses a microscope to explore the invisible world of tiny organisms that we typically overlook. Irene believes that it's highly important to emphasize the spirit or « soul » in each living being no matter its scale or size. In her artwork, Irene plays with combinations of various scales to show the beauty and importance of tiny, microscopic creatures to the World. She is constantly engaged in various mushroom-related projects all around the world. She has been a guest speaker at mycological events like the Hawaii Mushroom Conference and has her artwork displayed in exhibitions both in Prague and internationally.    TOPICS COVERED:   Growing up in a Mycophilic Culture   Family Love of Art & Music   Future Design   Ethnomycology    Psychedelics & Artistic Expression   Traveling through Microscopic Worlds   The Soul and Spirit of Microorganisms   Scale & PerspectiveFlow & Curiosity   Becoming a Fungal Ambassador   Inspiring Mycological Awakenings   Early Art Exhibitions   Immersion into Audio & Visual Artwork   Mushroom Foraging in Prague   EPISODE RESOURCES:   Irene Antonez Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IreneAntonezArt?ref=search_shop_redirect   Irene Antonez IG: https://www.instagram.com/irene_antonez_art/   Mikhail Vishnevsky (inspiration): https://golden.com/wiki/Vishnevsky%2C_Mikhail_Vladimirovich-DZKYXW5   Rhodotus palmatus: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/rhodotus_palmatus.html    Hydnellum peckii: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydnellum_peckii   "The Invention of Nature" (book): https://www.andreawulf.com/about-the-invention-of-nature.html   "Entangled Life" (book): https://www.merlinsheldrake.com/entangled-life   

In this episode, Kyle interviews the Founder and CEO of FreshCap Mushrooms and host of The Mushroom Show on YouTube, Tony Shields. He talks about how an early interest in lucid dreaming sent him down a psychedelic path, and how, as his interest in mushrooms has grown, he's watched the culture shift from a narrative of mycophobia to one of appreciation and interest. With FreshCap Mushrooms and The Mushroom Show, he aims to provide much needed education around this vast and mysterious world of fungi. He talks about the thriving psilocybin scene in Jamaica, and how, through filming a documentary there, he learned how much communities still don't know about mushrooms, how much tourism supports the country, and how much of a special vibe Jamaica has for psilocybin retreats. And he discusses much more: why lion's mane should help with concussions and TBIs; indications mushrooms could heal, from long Covid to paralysis; concerns over over-medicalization; why Terence McKennas' ideas weren't as crazy as many thought; visiting mushroom shops in Canada; the secret language of mushrooms; where psychedelic people can start to learn about functional mushrooms; and why, if he could embody any mushroom, it'd be cordyceps.

Quietly, constantly,  the Fifth Kingdom -- Fungi-- works just below our feet providing a vast and intelligent, communication network connecting, transmuting organic matter into crucial nourishment for  our plants, trees, soil, microorganisms and more…. This week we humbly welcome mycologist and Founder of Boulder Mushroom, Zach Hedstrom in a candid dialogue around restoring our inner and outer landscapes through the magic of mushrooms! Zach opens up about his lifelong fascination with fungi, the beginnings of Boulder Mushroom (from  a 100-square-foot cabin in the Colorado mountain to the rainforests of Ecuador), why healing from the mycorrhizae up works, and how his recent research shows how profound the impact of implementing native fungi into forest ecosystems for environmental restoration and fire mitigation can be.  Zach shares how we can begin educating ourselves on the diverse health and environmental benefits of mushrooms, his open-minded approach to foraging and mushroom cultivation, and why simply slowing down and listening to the mycelial web is essential.  This conversation unveils nature-based solutions to climate change, and the interconnectedness of the mycelium kingdom with the human family, making it a must-listen for those of us hoping to unlock the potential for remediating our land and our hearts. Thank you Zach, for sharing your grounded wisdom and reverence for our Pacha Mama!

Takeaways: [6:56] Zach joins the show and discusses his journey into becoming a mycologist. [9:46]  How Zach's time in the forest in his early teenage years shaped his interest in mushrooms, and later joining the Colorado Mycological Society. [12:15] How can we grow mushrooms in our garden? [14:46] Nitsa's visit to Common Ground Kauai. [14:57] The role that fungi play in soil health. [17:08] How Zach defines the fungi kingdom and that they are actually more closely related to animals than they are to plants. [19:13] Mycology as a field is often underfunded and an undervalued field of research. [20:22]  Fungi as an ethereal force of nature, which is responsible for kind of maintaining some degree of homeostasis. [21:38] How did Boulder Mushroom start and what is the company's mission? [25:50] The ability of fungi to transform woody biomass material into soil, quite rapidly. [27:12] How Boulder Mushroom started working with local government around biomass decomposition. [30:07] Why we've experienced the largest forest fires we've ever seen over the last 10 years. [32:37] Fungi create new tools in the toolbox, helping to provide nature-based solutions. [36:11] What has been the transformation that Zach has seen in some of the pilot programs that provides him with hope for the future? [41:43] Are there any ways that we can begin to inoculate our own backyards, and what mushrooms should we use? [48:00] Zach's way of relating to nature, especiially the fungal kingdom, is taking the role of an active listener. [50:36] What are Zach's thoughts on the decriminalization of psilocybin in some areas? [58:02] The symbolism of understanding the role that fungi play in the world and equating it to using mushrooms to expand consciousness. [58:32] What to look for when sourcing healing mushrooms. [58:32] What to look for in healing mushrooms. [1:00:23] Ethics of wild mushroom harvesting. [1:06:33] The moral of the story is eat more mushrooms! [1:08:28] What brings Zach down to Ecuador, and Steven Donzinger's case between the people of Ecuador vs. Chevron. [17:01] The importance of continuing to acknowledge the role of indigenous people in environmental remediation and environmental land stewardship, and the role that colonialism has played in the destruction of many ecosystems and natural landscapes. [1:22:02] Zach's one wish: let's get rid of plastic.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are graced by the presence of Dr. Michael J. Hathaway - Professor of Anthropology at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Associate Member of the School for International Studies, and the Director of SFU's David Lam Centre for Asian Studies. He is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow and author of What a Mushroom Lives For (2022) and Environmental Winds (2013). Hathaway is a cultural anthropologist with two central interests. First, he is deeply interested in China's place in the modern world, looking at how little-known dynamics there have created world-spanning effects in surprising realms such as feminism, environmentalism, and Indigenous rights. His aim is to disrupt the typical assumptions that globalization emerges solely from the West. Second, Hathaway is doing what he can to foster a transformation in scientific understandings based on colonial assumptions of the natural world. For a quarter-century, Hathaway has lived in, worked, and traveled in China and increasingly in Japan, where he has explored the entangled and emerging worlds of transnational environmentalism and Indigenous rights.
