Host Eric Schwartz dives into the fascinating world of fungi with guest Dr. Danielle Stevenson, an environmental toxicologist and mycologist.

We discuss the incredible potential of fungi to address environmental issues, from cleaning up toxic soil and oil spills to regenerating ecosystems after natural disasters. Dr. Stevenson sheds light on the critical role fungi play in maintaining ecological balance, their potential for large-scale environmental remediation, and practical ways individuals can contribute.

Together, we'll explore the inherent connection between fungi and the broader web of life, leaving us with a newfound appreciation for these powerful organisms and their potential to heal our planet.

Join Eric Schwartz on Astral Odyssey as we explore the third space of new ideas and thought.
