| 0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Welcome back to the podcast. Today we're going to be talking about |
| 0:04.4 | mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, fungi. We're going to be talking about six gourmet |
| 0:09.9 | or and or medicinal mushrooms that you can grow at home. |
| 0:15.0 | I have personally grown five of these six so far and the sixth is on the way. |
