Oh, Welcome to Spirit's podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, mycology, and folklore.

Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story in mushroom from around the world.

I'm Amanda.

And I'm Julia and if you can't tell after the past two episodes, we're still in

Mushroom Month baby.

Ae.

I am really excited. I love mushrooms.

Like, let's just, like, let's put it out there. I love mushrooms. I think they're really cool. I think they're really neat and while like we talked a lot about horror and mushrooms in our and folklore related, right? I mean, yeah, that's the name on the tin.

Sometimes I just want to talk about mushrooms, so that's kind of what this episode is about.

I love it. I think it makes all the sense in the world, especially as people are loving mushroom

month so much, to go ahead and give them more raw material, Julia, more

substrate for them to work with, so that they can learn about mushrooms and

maybe come up with some new mythology, some new urban legends of their own.

Maybe, maybe you're going to hyper-focus on this topic like I have the past couple of years and now it's

like your whole personality and people keep buying you mushrooms as gifts like

you know mushroom themed things as gifts or maybe you're just like hey this is interesting stuff

and I'm glad that I got to hear two of my favorite podcasters talk about it.

If that's the case, awesome, I'm so excited.

And let's let's get into it.

This is really just kind of gonna be like fun facts about mushrooms, facts about mushrooms that I find super interesting, as well as kind of tying it towards the end to the sort of religious practices around mushrooms.

But I have a lot of fun and exciting history and science about

mushrooms to tell you about today.
