Fungus Among Us: The Science and Hype Behind Mushrooms - Lab 102

From your morning Lion’s Mane latte to zombie ants in The Last of Us—fungi are having a moment. In this episode of Dope Labs, Titi and Zakiya dig deep into the world of mushrooms with park ranger, data scientist, and mycology educator Darling Ngoh. They explore the underground networks keeping forests alive, the science behind cordyceps, and whether mushroom supplements are legit or just really good marketing.

Dope Labs is where science meets pop culture. Because science is in everything and it’s for everybody.
