Mushrooms are exploding in public interest –  from food to medicinal uses to fashion – so, we're taking a whole podcast episode to talk about just how valuable they really are. William Padilla- Brown, founder and CEO of MycoSymbiotics, joins us to talk about truffle mushrooms and answer some frequently asked questions about how to identify them, their benefits and potential, and how to use them.

We want to remind listeners to always exercise caution when foraging and introducing new medicinal plants into your routine, which includes mushrooms. Do your research, consult and learn from mushroom experts, and talk with your healthcare providers.
