After weeks of investigation, the Bozeman outbreak is contained, but the questions it raised are much harder to close.

In the final episode of A Morel Dilemma, we return to Montana to understand how investigators traced the mushrooms, looked for additional cases, communicated risk to the public, and worked to prevent another outbreak.
