Rated PG. Good morning. Good day, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to Podcastle, the flying castle of fantasy fiction.

I am once again your host, Matt Dovey, and it is my privilege to present for your enjoyment, mycelium by Beth Goda, narrated by Tatiana Gray.

This story was first published in the magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction July 2022.

Firstly, sorry for being away, real life day job got a lot for a moment there. Again, words are

being had. Secondly secondly if you're

listening to this today i mean i suppose you're always listening to this today but specifically i

mean on tuesday thirtieth september 2025 then remember that this is your last chance to lock in

the ad-free patreon here it's only five, for it goes up to $7 next month.

Tomorrow, October 2025.

Ads are something we've resisted for one hecking long time.

17 and a half years, on the internet.

But unfortunately, our plans to use our new US non-profit status to access art grants and funding

kind of fell apart when the White House was once again occupied by a certain someone whose idea of high art is simply gold plating.

All those lovely grants aren't any use to anyone now, unless you're celebrating

250 years of US independence with the funding, which isn't really our purpose. So, yeah, big

neo-fascist black coal in our previous funding plans. Sorry. The ads will only ever be pre-roll

and post-roll. We will never interrupt your story to sell you a mattress.

But you can avoid even those ads if you join our Patreon at patreon.com slash eA podcasts

for $5 today or $7 thereafter.
