Fungi Folklore, Or the Mysterious Forest Fruit

Fungi Folklore, Or the Mysterious Forest Fruit

Mushrooms have captured humanity's attention for thousands of years. But they still confuse us.

Mushrooms spring up overnight, many of them are dangerous if you confuse them for their safer cousins, and they have an array of fantastical names. Witness the Destroying Angel, Spit Devil, Satan's Bolete, Witches' Butter, and Death Cap.

Let's learn more about the folklore of fungi in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.
