Today we travel to space with Marta Filipa Simões to talk about what fungi has been found in space, how they can survive, what tests we are doing on earth to discover their space exploration potential, and the possibility of fungal life on other planets.

Extra information and details:

•  For detailed information on astromycology research and experiments done, or even fungal species tested in both real outer space conditions and simulated conditions, you can check out the publication: https://www.mycosphere.org/pdf/MYCOSPHERE_14_1_13.pdf.
• As mentioned, me and my research team, we've done several experiments in hypergravity (10 and 15G). This was done through a project entitled "HyperSpacEx – Medical and Biotechnological potential of Fungi in Hypergravity for Space Exploration", where we had access to a large diameter centrifuge (LCD) to simulate the selected hypergravity values. This LDC is available at the facilities of the European Space Research and Technology Center (ESTEC), Noordwijk, the Netherlands, which we accessed through the HyperGES programme (https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/access2space4all/HyperGES/HyperGES_Index.html). HyperGES is a cooperation programme between the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA), developed under the Access to Space for All Initiative. 
• Hydrothermal vents were discovered a few decades ago and are a relatively recent discovery in the field of oceanography. Initially, these extreme environments were thought to be sterile and devoid of life. However, subsequent research revealed a high diversity of microbial life thriving there. These microorganisms are highly adapted the harsh conditions. This discovery was highly significant for astrobiology and expanded our understanding of life’s potential habitats. Furthermore, hydrothermal vents are considered terrestrial analogues for Mars. This is due to the detection of ancient hydrothermal vents on Mars, which suggests that similar conditions might have once supported life on the Red Planet.
• Panspermia is the theory or hypothesis that defends that life exists throughout the Universe and can be carried out into different locations, like our own planet, through space dust, meteorites, asteroids, comets, and planetoids. This is one of the theories that attempts to explain the origin of life on Earth.

Today we get an auditory transport to Hawaii to sit down with Nicole Hynson to chat about the fungal biodiversity of Hawaii. We focus on the importance of mycorrhizal fungi on the island and the relationship between these rare tropical plants and their fungal allies. We end the episode talking about how to inspire young kids to get excited about mushrooms and how to best teach kids in our school systems.

Dr. Nicole Hynson is a Professor in the Pacific Biosciences Research Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. There, she teaches mycology and ecology as well as runs a research lab. The focus of her group's research is the ecology and evolution of symbiotic fungi. They are particularly interested in defining "rules of life" for microbial communities. Another focus of their work is endangered plant species conservation through a better understanding of plant-microbe interactions, including the mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and root-inhabiting fungi. Nicole has been classically trained as a mycologist since her time as an undergraduate at the Evergreen State College under the tutelage of Dr. Michael Beug, she received her PhD from University of California Berkeley where she studied mycoheterotrophy in the lab of Dr. Tom Bruns, after which she worked in the lab of Dr. Kathleen Treseder at UC Irvine on fungal ecosystem ecology before starting her lab at the University of Hawaiʻi in 2012. Her favorite part of her job is getting students excited about fungi in the hopes of training the next generation of mycologists.

One of the most famous mushrooms of all time is actually worth its weight in gold because of its rarity - Ophiocordyceps sinensis. This mushroom is also called caterpillar fungus, yartsa gunbu, or winter worm summer grass, and is a fungus that takes over a ghost moth larva and sprouts a mushroom out of its head. It's collected all around the Himalayan mountains as high as 10,500 feet above sea level.

Today on the show we bring on Harvard entomologist ‪Zhengyang Wang‬ who focuses on the actual ghost moth insect (Thitarodes shambalaensis) portion of the zombie fungus relationship. He's already identified new species and is on the mission to sequence them all!

We cover:

- 101 on Ophiocordyceps sinensis
- The current economic impact of the caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis)
- The range of where they grow
- What insects to Ophiocordyceps sinensis grow on
- The illegal blackmarket trade of this mushroom
- The relationship between the different plants, insects and fungi
- Cracking the code on how to cultivate these mushrooms
- The lifecycle of this mushroom
- The future of genetic and metabolic sequencing for this fungus, plant, and insect relationship
- And so mush more!

Today we bring on Dr. James Fadiman, arguably the person responsible for making microdosing magic mushrooms popular. We talk about the current research, the benefits, safety, dosage, set, setting, history and so much more. Ever wanted to try microdosing? Don't know where to start? Long time microdoser and want to hear the current research and where we are in the industry? Totally skeptical?

Alex tries to play devils advocate on this episode to try to poke holes into the legitimacy of microdosing and we talk about how to create better double blind placebo controlled human clinical trials in the future. Are you of the sub perceptual microdose camp or the above perceptual microdose camp? We argue both sides and give pros and cons for each.

What's the best way to store your microdoses? What about extraction? What's the shelf life before they start to loose their potency? Are the stems more potent than the caps? Besides psilocybin and psilocin, what other compounds are in the mushrooms? What about microdosing other species besides Psilocybe cubensis? What's the future of microdosing psilocybin? Oh you bet we cover all these juicy questions and more in this episode!

Fungi have a microbiome. Bacteria live in and on fungi, and their presence has been shown to be impressively influential on the ecology as a whole. Their co-evolution has shaped the trophs, genetics, metabolisms, vitality and more within these two kingdoms of life. Be prepared to reimagine fungal vigor and success as a communal effort. 

Today we welcome the eloquent and brilliant Dr. Jessie Uehling from Oregon State who has been pioneering much of the research in the field. 

Topics Covered:

• The primary ways fungi and bacteria interact
• Co-evolution of bacteria and fungi 
• The implications of fungal-bacterial interactions with human life and ecosystem health 
• Brief discussion on fungal-fungal interactions
• Diversity of fungal-bacterial interactions
• Mechanism of hyphal invasion
• Antibiotics and their effects on endosymbionts 
• Fungal mating and how endosymbiotic impact reproduction

Smell that? Could be a fungus. Aroma is everywhere, and much of that comes from microorganisms. Pheromones, toxins, attractants, hormones… chemicals are the language of fungi. Today we are joined by a mycologist and artist to discuss the olfactory world of fungi and how it is experienced by human beings. With an extensive array of scents, fungal fragrances inspired the first mushroom smell wheel created by Willoughby Arevalo and Isabelle Kirouac. Our conversation features stories around these unique aromas, the attempt to recreate the smells, the possible roles of these compounds in the ecosystem, and more!

Topics covered:

• Our sense of smell and our human relationship with it
• A brief overview of fungal aroma biotechnology
• 1-Octen-3-ol or “mushroom alcohol”
• The Mushroom Smelling Wheel: the variety of smells such as garlic, watermelon, DMT, sperm, shrimp, crayons, wet sleeping bag, etc
• Chemical communications and pheromones in mushroom forming fungi
• Willoughby & Isabelle’s artist residency in Mexico and the development of fungal fragrance catalogue
• Brief visitaitons on the sex life of fungi

Mycorrhizal fungi are critical to life on Earth. They have symbiotic relationships with surrounding plant life and are vital for the growth and health of forests. Today we are joined by Dr. Suzanne Simard, one most influential researchers on these fungi. Suzanne has largely contributed to the scientific acknowledgment to mycorrhizal ecology, as well as creating awareness about their critical role in local and global ecosystems.

As we learn more about these subterranean networks, their function in the world more and more vital. We are in an era where we are losing our forests faster than we can understand (let alone protect) what we truly lose from deforestation. Suzanne is sounding the alarm by proclaiming what we've discovered so far. We discuss what we do know about the vitality of mycorrhizal communities, current and predicted repercussions of disturbing them, and how we can support their restoration.

Topics covered:

• A dive into Suzanne’s personal and professional journey 
• Why old growth forests are imperative 
• What our world would look if we did not have mycorrhizal fungi
• The function of mycorrhizal communities in local and global ecosystems
• Dark septate endophytic fungi and other forms of fungal symbiosis 
• Suzanne’s book “Finding the Mother Tree”

A lot is to blame for the climate crisis, one of the most dire being our excessive meat consumption. A possible solution? Fungi. 

For animal agriculture to keep up with the demand, we are compensating for safety, animal welfare, and sustainable practices that are emitting methane and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. Even deforestation is an impact of global demand for meat and other animal products.

Thankfully with education and/or commercialization of new fungi and plant based products, we have a real shot at satiating the population’s “meattooth”. Mushrooms are already a trusty meat alternative, and now with biotechnology we can partner with fungi in innovative ways. We are joined by Paul Shapiro, the CEO of The Better Meat Co., where his team is partnering with a neurospora species to quickly ferment a mycoprotein they call Rhiza, which contains more protein than eggs, more iron beef, more fiber than oatmeal, and even contains b12. 

Topics Covered:

• Meeting the global demand for meat — at what cost?
• Practical alternatives to animal products, especially meats
• Paul’s recent book on cellular agriculture, or lab-grown meat
• The future of our protein source and how our current practices will be remembered
• How to brew mycoprotein
• Fermentation science and nutritional value of mycoproteins, specifically Rhiza
• The ease, and the challenges, of scaling a mycoprotein

Spalted wood is beautiful. It’s a form of rotting, and it’s caused by fungi. Spalting comes in many forms: patterns, colors, textures. Until this century, the biology of spalting wasn’t well understood, and even less so any methods to produce it in a laboratory setting. We are once again joined by Javier Ribera, a wood materials scientist and mycologist from EMPA to discuss new research on spalted wood. The team at EMPA has built off of existing literature on the biology of spalting which has allowed them to artificially produce spalted wood, potentially opening a market for designer wood rot.

Topics Covered:

• History of spalted wood use in the United States
• Three kinds of spalting: zone lines, pigmentation and white rot
• Mel & Mark Lindquist’s legacy of spalted wood in woodcraft
• DIY spalting methods: the possibilities and limitations
• The mycology of zone line spalting: what species are involved? What does wood anatomy have to do with it?
• How researchers at EMPA are commercializing spalted woods
• How you can spalt your own wood at home!

Today’s show covers a field known as mycovirology, or the study of viruses that infect fungi. This esoteric science is nascent but profound in its applications, and we are welcoming one of the few people in the world who are studying these relationships. Why do mycoviruses matter? How can we work with and against them? How can this subfield influence mycology as a whole?

We welcome Dr. Brenda Wingfield from the university of Pretoria in South Africa. Brenda holds her degree in fungal genomics and has published over 300 respective articles. Her work has expanded the mycological fields of taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology and tree pathology. 

Topics Covered:

• Defining mycovirology 
• What makes fungal viruses unique from others
• Stuck fermentation caused by killer yeasts
• Asymptomatic vs symptomatic viruses
• Mechanisms of viral infection in fungi
• Using mycoviruses to combat Chestnut Blight
• Viruses transferring from plants to fungi
• Armillaria viruses

We are humbled to be speaking with psychedelic pioneer, Dennis McKenna. Dennis and his late brother Terrence are some of the most influential figures in western psychedelic culture. The brothers contributed to the introduction to psilocybin mushrooms in the United States, including but not limited to, cultivation techniques, ethnomycology, user guidance, and providing spores. Dennis was active in the psychedelic movement in the 60s and continues to shape the 21st century renaissance through education and organizations such as the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy. Prepare for some serious wisdom and untold stories from the McKenna family. 

Topics Covered:

• The McKenna’s trip to La Chorrera in search of psychedelic Virola sap called oo-koo-hey, and the inadvertent encounter of Psilocybe cubensis in cow pies
• Psilocybin as an ideal oral form of DMT
• Chemical composition of psychedelic mushrooms i.e beta-carboline content 
• The McKenna family, from a small town in Colorado and the becoming of the most influential figures in western psychedelic use 
• Psilocybin’s potential influence on hominid evolution including fossil records, ecological history, circumstantial evidence, epigenetics and more
• Prohibition and regulation of psilocybin and other entheogens
• Organismic birthrights to form a relationship with the natural world

Notable Quotes:

“Part of the message from nature is, [psilocybin] is the perfect psychedelic, you don’t really need to improve on it.”

“We were approaching this like engineers, we wanted to build a machine out of our own bodies that would enable us to visit other dimensions.”

“People should have a fundamental right to form symbiosis. And because we’re talking about alliances with non-human organisms, it's not even a human right, it's an organismic right.”

“When you choose to use a drug, you’re choosing a relationship.... call it a symbiotic relationship.”

Today features a conversation with Sophia Roe. As a major mushroom lover and renowned chef, mushrooms are a central muse for Sophia in the kitchen and way, way beyond. We discuss how fungi offer valuable insight to philosophical and ecological narratives. We challenge stigmas around mushrooms & fungi, and our associations of ‘bad’ with natural phenomena. Some modern day problems don’t have to be a problem, and we talk about how fungi can be the skeleton key to solving or mitigating many. Sophia also shares how to cook the perfect mushrooms, and how not liking mushrooms is a false reality — all it takes is the right preparation and an open mind.

-

Sophia Roe is a celebrated chef, writer, and advocate who looks at the world of food, art, and wellness through a lens of diversity, inclusivity, and honesty. Her innate passion for food has always been connected to an understanding—from a young age—that some people have access to nutritious foods, while others simply do not. This duality is the foundation for Sophia’s work: celebrating the beauty and art in cooking while creating resources to advance food justice and build more sustainable, equitable systems. 

As a young chef, Sophia stood apart; she felt like nobody looked or spoke like she did, but with social media she built a community where she could share her recipes, her convictions, and her honest take on wellness. Her powerful storytelling has helped those around her understand that there isn’t “one way” to approach wellness. Sophia’s community leans on her for actionable advice and encouragement in an effort to live a more balanced and healthy life. In addition to sharing her recipes, she leads transformative workshops, classes, and retreats that offer a safe, open forum for storytelling, community, food, and healing. 

It is with this foundation that Sophia is producing and hosting a new show on VICE called “Counter Space.” Launching November 26, 2020, “Counter Space” combines her expertise in the kitchen with her work in food activism and education. The underlying theme in every episode is resilience, adaptability, and awareness, and “Counter Space” informs consumers about the food, habits, politics, and food systems that affect us all. 

Beyond her public platforms, Sophia dedicates much of her time to supporting and empowering young people with similar circumstances through her involvement with two philanthropic organizations: Women’s Prison Association and Edible Schoolyard NYC

Sophia resides in Brooklyn, NY and spends most of her free time writing and filming. She is currently penning her first book, which is slated to launch at the end of 2021.

Topics Covered:

• Sophia’s love for mold, and how these ubiquitous and essential fungi catalyzed her dedication to the fungal queendom
• Reframing waste as a viable material for fungal proliferation
• Inspiring figures in the mushroom scene and how their work is changing the narrative
• Sophia’s cooking show Counter Space, and the importance of mindful consumerism
• The do’s and don’ts of cooking with mushrooms
• Jelly fungi and what to love about them
• The remarkable applications of fungi in each of our lives, and how it’s only just begun

Famous for her beloved books and elegant illustration, notably Petter Rabbit, this 19th century artist was also a mycologist. Beatrix Potter's contributions to mycology were significant, having observed and documented phenomena that previously speculated or unknown. Despite the misogyny that kept her work from scientific recognition, Potter persevered in her research. Today’s show is a spotlight on Potter’s mycophilia. We are joined by Dale DeBakcsy who is a knowledgeable writer for Women You Should Know, with comprehensive knowledge on Potter’s life and love for fungi.

Dale DeBakcsy is the writer and artist of the Women In Science and Cartoon History of Humanism columns, and has, since 2007, co-written the webcomic Frederick the Great: A Most Lamentable Comedy with Geoffrey Schaeffer. He is also a regular contributor to The Freethinker, Philosophy Now, Free Inquiry, and Skeptical Inquirer. He studied intellectual history at Stanford and UC Berkeley before becoming a teacher of mathematics and drawer of historical frippery.

Topics Covered

• A brief biography to Beatrix’s Potter’s life in 19th century England
• How writers conduct research on deceased figures
• The development of Potter’s affinity for mushrooms and how she did research with her limited resources
• Women in science in the 19th and 20th century 
• The unlikely lives of natural scientists in the late 19th century
• Beatrix’s individual mycological discoveries including: observing lichen’s symbiotic nature, rendering scientifically accurate illustrations of mushrooms, the existence of mycelium underground, spore germination, mycoparasitism and the roles of fungi in ecosystem ecology
