Mushrooms: We see them in our grocery stores, on our pizzas, and out in our yards. On one hand they're commonplace, but on the other hand they can be quite mysterious. How do you grow them, how do you find them, and what are the varieties Oklahomans are most likely to find in the great outdoors? There might be no one better equipped to answer these questions than this week's podcast guest Jacob DeVecchio. As the founder of Oklahoma Fungi, DeVecchio leads educational tours across Oklahoma to educate the curious on the different varieties of mushroom that can be found all around them and perhaps spark some interest in the hobby of foraging. DeVecchio joins the show to talk foraging, safety, and home-growing for all the aspirational mushroom lovers out there.
Also on this week's show, the editors discuss their favorite appetizers and podvents take us from country music to Shakespeare. We hope you enjoy!
