Summary

This week we welcome onto the podcast the incredible Merlin Sheldrake: fungi expert and author of 'Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change our Minds and Shape Our Futures'.

We had the most fascinating chat about the kingdom of fungi and discuss the incredible intelligence of these organisms that play a crucial role in our environments. We also of course talk about the effects of psychedelics on the brain and Jamie relives the story of how he took mushrooms…by accident.
