About This Podcast

Join us as we take a journey through the forests, meadows, and mountains of Scotland, discovering the diverse array of mushrooms that call this country home. From the beloved chanterelles and porcini to the lesser-known inkcaps and stinkhorns, we'll explore the different species and their unique characteristics. But our podcast is not just about mushrooms - we'll also dive into the cultural and historical significance of fungi in Scotland. From ancient folklore and traditions to modern-day culinary and medicinal uses, mushrooms have played a vital role in Scottish culture for centuries.
