Ep. 1: The Death Cap: There are better things to be afraid of
from The Fungi Oracles · host Ash Hathaway
In “Ep. 1: Death Cap: There are better things to be afraid of” we discuss the niche, anatomical structure, evolution, and direct impacts that Death Caps have on human health. There is a focus on becoming acclimated with common words in mycology, such as “mycelium”, “gills”, and “caps” and take our time getting to know each other through Biology 101 words. You will be shocked by the unique evolution process that Death Cap has gone through and its ability to invade places all over the world through these rapid evolution events. If you’re like me, you’ll also find joy in some quick retellings of historical events that include Death Cap poisoning. You’ll hear all of this and more in this episode and have the Piggyback Rosegill to look forward to in two weeks. Rate, review, and come back soon!
