KK and Karleen are back for another mushroom coffee review, and this time we're sipping on Root & Rise Coffee, a consciously crafted blend created by founder Casey!  From its beautiful, eco-conscious packaging to its rich, earthy flavor, this coffee seriously impressed us. We dive into the organic ingredients, including lion's mane, chaga, roasted dandelion root, and chicory root, exploring the science behind their potential benefits for cognitive health, antioxidant activity, digestion, and gut health. We also chat about Casey's journey through herbalism and regenerative agriculture, why prebiotic fibers matter, and how brewing methods like pour-over can elevate your morning coffee ritual. Plus, we break down the pricing, discover Root & Rise's caffeine-free alternative, Shrooms of Stability, and celebrate the brand's commitment to sustainability with compostable tea bags. With a nearly perfect 10/10 rating, could this be the new gold standard for mushroom coffee? Tune in to find out why we're officially part of the Root & Rise tribe! ☕

Get ready to laugh, learn, and rethink what you call “waste.” 🌱♻️ In this episode of the Flora Funga Podcast, KK sits down with Aaron and Elliot from Brainplate Grows to explore their hilariously unconventional approach to composting, urban farming, and building a more resilient food system in Madison, Wisconsin. We dive into how they collect roughly 800 pounds of food scraps each week from local restaurants and transform them into living soil, their Bucket Farm Friends initiative bringing accessible grow kits into the community, the surprisingly fascinating world of soil microbes, and why bitter melon deserves way more attention. We also talk about hyperlocal food systems, turning unused urban spaces into places to grow food, creating stronger communities through biodiversity and mutual aid, and their wonderfully chaotic Compost Olympics happening October 10 at Troy Farm. Beneath all the jokes is a powerful idea: waste doesn’t have to be waste, healthy ecosystems depend on cooperation, and small local actions can create much bigger change.

Are mushroom coffees actually worth the hype—or are we just paying $40+ for fancy dirt water? 

In this episode of Flora Funga Podcast, KK and Karleen put two of the biggest names in functional mushroom drinks head-to-head: RYZE Mushroom Coffee and MUD\WTR Matcha. 

We taste-test both, compare caffeine and mushroom content, dig into RYZE's six-mushroom blend versus MUD\WTR's chaga, reishi, lion's mane and cordyceps blend, and talk about the surprisingly important differences between whole mushroom powder, mycelium, fruiting bodies and mushroom extracts. We also get into why ingredient sourcing and third-party testing matter, whether you'd be better off adding mushroom extracts to coffee you already love, and even how you can make mushroom teas and dual extracts at home.

 After plenty of questionable smells, earthy sips and brutally honest ratings, RYZE lands around a 6/10 while MUD\WTR Matcha takes the win at roughly 8–8.5/10. We also shout out Everyday Dose, Laird Superfood, Christopher Hobbs' mushroom extraction teachings and Schedule 35 along the way. If you've been staring at mushroom coffee in Target wondering whether it's actually worth your money, this one's for you.

Things mentioned in this episode:

RYZE Mushroom Coffee — RYZE Superfoods

 MUD\WTR Matcha — MUD\WTR Matcha

Everyday Dose — Everyday Dose Mushroom Coffee

 Laird Superfood — the other mushroom/superfood coffee brand discussed — Laird Superfood

In this episode of the Flora Funga Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my unforgettable weekend at the Telluride Mushroom Festival. From landing in Colorado and making the long drive into the mountains, to waking up to unreal views, exploring mushroom-themed restaurants, catching live music and lectures, foraging for boletes and porcini, riding the gondola into town, and throwing an absolutely wild house party, this trip was one for the books. I spent most of the weekend connecting with an amazing crew of mushroom lovers, cooking up fresh finds, dancing, exploring the festival, and really just allowing myself to have fun and enjoy the community. A huge thank you to Mycology Mike for helping me get a festival ticket, Rob and everyone who made me feel at home in Telluride, and especially Schedule 35 for sponsoring my adventure and helping make this entire trip possible. This year was very different from my last Telluride experience, but my goal was simple: have fun, make meaningful connections, and enjoy every second of it—and that’s exactly what I did. So now I have to ask: who’s coming to Telluride with me next year?

In this episode of the Flora Funga Podcast, KK sits down with Brice Parker, founder of Mush-Melo, to explore how he turned the nostalgic experience of roasting marshmallows around a campfire into a creative way to enjoy functional mushrooms. Brice shares the inspiration behind Mush-melo, the challenges of formulating mushroom-infused marshmallows, and the brand’s three blends—including daytime marshmallows with lion’s mane and gotu kola, nighttime marshmallows with reishi and damiana, and a five-mushroom longevity blend featuring turkey tail, cordyceps, chaga, shiitake, and maitake. They also discuss clean ingredients, mushroom extracts, future seasonal flavors and marshmallow-based products, the importance of getting outside and connecting with nature, and Mush-Melo's efforts to give back through programs supporting forests and tree planting. Plus, Brice fires up an actual campfire during the interview and makes a functional mushroom s’more on camera—so this is definitely an episode worth watching on YouTube!

 Peter Pan and I explore the fascinating and often misunderstood story of the coca plant—from its ancient Indigenous roots to its controversial connection with Coca-Cola. Peter breaks down the history of coca-infused tonics, the creation of Coca-Cola, the company’s unique access to imported coca leaves, and the ongoing questions surrounding the plant’s commercialization and criminalization. The conversation also dives into the four major cultivated varieties of coca, traditional preparation methods such as yipta, cal, poporo, and mambé, and the cultural role coca continues to play across Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and the Amazon. Together, they discuss coca as a nutritious plant medicine, its similarities to tea, the impact of colonial drug policies, and modern efforts to protect Indigenous traditions and reconsider coca’s international legal status.

Frank Hyman returns to the Flora Funga Podcast to dive into his newest book, Ripe Tomato Revolution, a playful and practical guide that uses tomatoes as the gateway into gardening, self-reliance, and finding your calling. Known for How to Forage for Mushrooms Without Dying, Frank brings his signature mix of humor, science, storytelling, and hands-on experience to everything from growing and transplanting tomatoes to drip irrigation, trellising, rain protection, pest management, heirlooms, hybrids, and why healthy gardens depend on working with beneficial insects instead of spraying everything in sight. Along the way, he shares stories from his unconventional path as a “successful college dropout,” reflections on mastering multiple callings, and practical wisdom from decades of farming, carpentry, writing, and gardening. This episode also wanders into wonderfully weird territory, including tomato-tobacco grafting, the possibility of “nicotine tomatoes,” Everglade tomatoes on Naked and Afraid, and why the humble tomato can teach us so much about plants, people, purpose, and resilience.

Tyler Hacking returns to talk about his new mushroom map guides and the GIS technology behind them. Tyler explains how his scientific background in mycology and geospatial analysis led him to create predictive mushroom maps using tools like ArcGIS Pro. Instead of simply copying public mushroom sightings, his process layers historical collection data with habitat factors such as tree associations, water, fire history, elevation, soil, slope, aspect, and other ecological parameters to predict where mushrooms are most likely to grow. He focuses especially on morels, but also discusses other edible mushrooms like chicken of the woods, oyster mushrooms, pheasant back, and porcini.

Tyler walks through how the guides are built state by state, with current maps including places like California, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin in progress. Each guide includes multiple high-resolution maps and hundreds of specific GPS coordinates designed to help foragers save time, gas, and frustration by getting closer to likely mushroom habitat. He also emphasizes that the maps are meant to support responsible mushroom hunting, including ethical harvesting practices, proper identification, and sustainable foraging. The conversation also touches on fire morels, the limits of public databases, customer feedback, affiliate opportunities, donations to mycological societies, and Tyler’s future plans for commercial, medicinal, and nutraceutical mushroom mapping.

I sit down with Tritone to explore the world of plant biosonification and the concept behind Master Plants Orchestra, an orchestra played entirely by plants. Using electrodes placed on plant leaves, Tritone converts bioelectric signals from up to eight plants into musical notes, creating soundscapes that range from calming meditation music to experimental compositions that challenge traditional human ideas of melody and scale. The conversation dives into how plant electrophysiology changes with species, water, light, and environmental conditions, and how those subtle shifts can be translated into sound. Tritone also shares the history of plant music, from early experiments in the Italian spiritual community of Damanhur to modern open-source tools being developed with Fatty Recording Co. The episode expands beyond music into education, science, AI, mushroom biosonification, and the deeper question of how technology can help humans reconnect with the natural world by listening more closely to plants, fungi, and the hidden electrical conversations happening all around us.

KK sits down with Derek of D&D Meadery to explore the ancient, flavorful, and surprisingly approachable world of mead-making. Derek shares how mead, often considered the oldest fermented beverage, begins with the simple combination of honey, water, and yeast, but becomes deeply complex through fermentation, yeast selection, local honey sources, seasonal variation, and careful quality control. Together, KK and Derek discuss the history of mead, from its ritual and celebratory roots to its reputation as a drink once reserved for nobility, while also breaking down the modern process of creating traditional honey wine.

Derek walks through the importance of using high-quality raw honey, clean water, sanitation, and thoughtful fermentation practices, while explaining how different ingredients can shape the final flavor. The conversation touches on fruit meads, maple meads, dry and sweet styles, back-sweetening, stabilizing, and the creative possibilities of pairing honey with ingredients like coffee, cacao, and buckwheat honey. Derek also shares the story behind D&D Meadery’s German family crest, their award-winning traditional mead, and their growing wholesale presence across Northeast Ohio. From ancient fermentation to modern meadery expansion, this episode is a warm and educational introduction to the craft, culture, and creativity behind making mead

This episode was such a fun, open-minded wander through fungi, philosophy, psychedelics, podcasting, and the weird little threads that connect us all. KK sat down with Joel and Jacob from The Open Minded Podcast to talk about their journey as curious young hosts exploring psychology, religion, consciousness, and the big questions of life. The conversation drifted into mushrooms, plant medicine, psychedelic experiences, ego, perception, and how these moments can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. They also dug into what mushroom culture looks like in the UK compared to the U.S., touching on stigma, underground communities, and how normalized alcohol is while fungi still gets side-eyed. It was a thoughtful, funny, and curiosity-filled chat about growth, awareness, and staying open to the mystery.

 In this episode of Flora Funga Podcast, KK sits down with Victoria to explore the complicated intersection of mycology, social media, AI moderation, and content creator survival. They discuss why mushroom-related accounts and cultivation content are increasingly vulnerable to automated takedowns, how AI-driven platform policies can misread educational mycology content as harmful, and why creators need stronger backups, clearer disclaimers, platform-specific strategies, and community advocacy. Victoria also shares practical insight into account recovery, algorithmic bias, AI governance, and how mushroom educators can stay resilient while continuing to spread fungal awareness online. 

 This episode is for educational and informational purposes only. Any discussion of mushrooms, mushroom cultivation, social media policy, account recovery, artificial intelligence, or platform moderation is not legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. Listeners are responsible for understanding and following the laws, regulations, and platform policies that apply in their location and on the platforms they use. Flora Funga Podcast does not encourage illegal activity, policy evasion, or unsafe mushroom practices. Our goal is to support education, awareness, responsible communication, and better understanding of how mycology content is treated online.

Meet Lois Duncun...She has a pretty wild and beautiful healing story. After going through systemic lupus, which is medically documented, she credits so much of her healing to plants, Indigenous medicines, mindset work, and Gene Keys. She feels like she’s lived a lot of lives in this one, and some of those chapters were really hard.

Through trauma, trial and error, and lessons learned the long way, she found her way back to radical accountability, purpose, and a deeper connection with herself. She learned how to turn pain into power, and now she really strives to live what she teaches.

She only guides people in spaces where she has true lived experience, where she’s done the work, and where she can speak from the heart. She is living proof that healing is possible. Not perfect, not always linear, but real — and that true peace in the soul is something we can come back to.

Allen L. Davies III, known as Allen the Fun Guy, has spent over 15 years immersed in mushrooms, fermentation, and culinary innovation. With a deep respect for food as a cultural cornerstone, he views it as both sustenance and medicine—capable of nourishing, healing, and driving meaningful change through sustainability and accessibility.

An expert in Koji (Aspergillus oryzae), Allen has expanded its use far beyond traditional applications. Since 2020, he has cultivated over seven tons of Koji across diverse substrates, exploring its enzymatic potential in miso, amazake, garum, and functional extractions. His work bridges fermentation, mycology, and bioactive mushroom extraction, pushing Koji into new territory.

Through fermentation and functional fungi, Allen is on a mission to make mushrooms more accessible and shift how they’re perceived.

That vision comes to life with Mycopop—a mycofunctional beverage blending cordyceps and lion’s mane with the refreshment of an energy drink or seltzer. Inspired by his collaboration with citizen scientist William Padilla Brown, Mycopop bridges function and flavor, making mushroom-powered wellness part of everyday life.

From pioneering fermentation techniques to crafting functional foods and beverages, Allen continues to redefine fungi—not just as food, but as tools for nourishment, transformation, and cultural evolution.

Brandon Rust has been cultivating and breeding cannabis for 20+ years, originally from San Diego, he currently resides in Oklahoma and works in the legal cannabis industry, as an owner operator and as a private consultant. A self-taught agronomist and microbiologist, Brandon owns Bokashi Earthworks, which is involved in manufacturing microbial consortiums for the use in agriculture, bioremediation and green waste recycling.
manufacturing organic soils specifically blended for cannabis production, and is involved in the manufacturing and distribution of organic carbon based humate fertilizer in partnership with NASA agricultural technologies.

 Biggest takeaway: organic nutrition isn’t just “natural,” it can actually help plants absorb nutrients more efficiently because of humic and fulvic acids, which support bioavailability and the soil microbiome. He even talked about a “NASA fertilizer” concept aimed at making fertilizer cleaner and way more efficient, and why conventional urea can be shockingly wasteful. We also kept it real about agriculture myths, marketing scams, and why regenerative farming is going mainstream.

The top episodes were Ep 182: Paul Stamets Interview

 This week on Flora Funga, I break down a 1-year aspartame study in mice that found something wild: the mice got leaner (less body fat)… but researchers also saw signs of heart remodeling and changes in brain metabolism, with subtle differences on a memory/learning test (Barnes maze).

Edward Crowe joins KK to explore his deeply personal relationship with psychedelic mushrooms—spanning visionary experiences, ceremonial practices, and the role fungi play in his creative and healing journey. Edward shares vivid stories from his psychedelic visions, including cultural and ancestral imagery, and explains how these experiences have shaped his worldview.

He walks KK through his approach to facilitating one-on-one ceremonies grounded in intention, safety, and respect, highlighting practices such as outdoor sacred spaces, crystal work, and yearly participation. Edward also discusses his dosing philosophy, the importance of purging, microdosing lessons, and how mushroom use has positively supported his focus and path in the music industry.

The conversation dives into Edward’s “mushroom healing journey,” where a series of synchronicities reinforced his belief that mushrooms find the people who need them.  New website launch, upcoming projects like Murder Cigars and his photography collaborations, and his belief in a “psychic mycelial network” connecting fellow travelers.

We close with a candid discussion about psychedelic safety, the risks of commercialization, and why education and integrity must remain central to mushroom work.

New research from Taiwan revealing a rare forest fungus with remarkable anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Discovered growing on the endangered stout camphor tree, this cultivated mushroom produces a compound called N50 F2, a sulfated galacto-glucan that blocks inflammation signals and halts cancer cell proliferation—particularly in lung cancer—by triggering programmed cell death. The study highlights how this fungus bridges traditional medicine and modern biotechnology, showing potential for future health supplements and cancer therapies. KK ties it back to her own journey with inflammation management using mushrooms like reishi, chaga, and turkey tail, and encourages listeners to explore this discovery, stay curious, and keep “lowering inflammation one mushroom at a time.” 

Fungus compound shows promise in cancer and inflammation

Giovanni, founder of the Shatter Foundation and organizer of the Shatter the Stigma 5K, shared his mission to raise awareness and funds for psychedelic-assisted therapy for veterans and first responders. His foundation, nonprofit, partners with the Florida International University Society of Psychedelic Science (FIU SPS) and plans to expand to other universities. He emphasized responsible psychedelic use through guided integration and intention-setting, while discouraging casual or unregulated use. Giovanni and KK discussed the challenges of promoting plant medicine on social media, including censorship and funding barriers, which led to creative solutions like selling “Golden Shroom” necklaces to support research and advocacy. Through events, partnerships, and scholarships, the Shatter Foundation aims to destigmatize psychedelics, fund research, and advocate for therapy access—encouraging curiosity and community around the healing potential of these medicines.

Fungitarian is a wellness movement and brand founded by Johnny James, built on his personal journey of healing through mushrooms after struggling with burnout and addiction. Their team of mycologists, scientists, and wellness advocates creates high-quality functional mushroom products—tinctures, gummies, and extracts—made from organic, U.S.-grown or wild-harvested fruiting bodies with clean, transparent formulas. Beyond products, their mission is about reconnection: to self, community, food, and purpose, guided by the ancient intelligence of fungi and supported by science. They emphasize education, especially for underserved youth, on how fungi heal bodies, restore ecosystems, and inspire futures. With a vision to build a movement of 10 million “Fungitarians,” they aim to shift culture toward everyday mushroom use, sustainable food systems, and holistic wellness rooted in nature.

Elspeth dives into the surprisingly sexy world of nuts and trees, unpacking the botanical definition of nuts while highlighting the ecological power of oaks as keystone species. She gets detailed with acorns—flour, starch, oil, and even liqueur—exploring their culinary versatility and cultural history. The conversation branches out into the rise and fall of the American chestnut, hybridization efforts, and the sometimes steamy dynamics of forest management, from masting events where trees “all go at once” to indigenous fire practices that keep ecosystems in balance. We reveal how mixed forests and diverse diets are not only good for the planet but also downright irresistible, leaving listeners nutty for more.

In this episode of Flora Funga Podcast, we dive into the powerful healing potential of shiitake mushrooms—specifically a compound called lentinan, a purified β-glucan found in these fungi. Recent studies have shown that lentinan can significantly boost the immune system and fight off tumor growth in mice, even when given by mouth. In one study, mice given lentinan for just 7 days showed a tumor inhibition rate of over 94%. This compound helped increase key immune signals in the blood and activated lymphocytes—immune cells that were then transferred to other immune-deficient mice, who also experienced reduced tumor growth. These findings highlight the incredible role shiitake mushrooms may play in future natural therapies for immune support and cancer prevention.
