We are so excited to share another amazing podcast, local to Washington State! Are you ready to jump down the Rabbit Hole with hosts Shea & Jody? In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, Shea and Jody take you on a wild and whimsical journey through the underappreciated world of fungi. Prepare to have your mind blown as they uncover the astonishing truth about a massive network of fungus lurking beneath the Pacific Northwest's forests. This mycelial marvel stretches over four miles and is responsible for a deadly root disease that decimates conifers, or as Shea humorously puts it, "the science hippie for evergreen trees." Join the hosts as they delve into the peculiarities of this fungal phenomenon, from its seemingly innocent honey brown cap that bears a striking resemblance to a "stumpy penis"—a choad, if you will—to the bizarre and mysterious world of fungal mating. It's a tale of nature's quirks and the strange beauty of the unseen. Whether you're a mycology enthusiast or just curious about the weird wonders of the forest floor, this episode promises to entertain with its unique blend of humor and fascinating facts.
