Funky Fungi of the North Country

Fungi - the future of the food industry? From locally grown shiitake mushrooms to wild chicken of the woods and giant puffballs, St. Lawrence University student Aidan takes us on a journey of delicious proportions. Aidan begins by introducing us to local mushroom producer Bob Wagner, and giving the listener just the right information if you’re interested in growing your own mushrooms. From there we venture into the forest to harvest wild mushrooms and turn them into quesadillas, pizza, and more. This episode of our Forest Ecology series is sure to make you hungry for some wild delicacies!
