OSR, why all the Shrooms?

In this episode I'm joined by Johannes Paavola, and we discuss why we think there is such a profusion of mushrooms and herbs in many OSR games and supplements.The supplements/books I discussed in this episode were: The Midderlands, OSR Bestiary and Setting by Monkeyblood Design Behind the Walls, an adventure for the Midderlands published by Monkeyblood Design Fungi of the Far Realms by Melsonian Arts Council Fever Swamp by Melsonian Arts Council Winter's Daughter, an adventure by Necrotic Gnome The Wormskin Zines by Necrotic GnomeHave an opinion or thoughts on this topic?
