Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review

This week we chat with Nik Money about fungi sex. Nik Money has written many books on fungal growth. I first learned about him while reading Mr. Bloomfield's Orchard: The Mysterious World of Mushrooms, Molds, and Mycologists.  I have been saving this interview for the perfect moment and I am glad to finally have him on to educate such an important and intricate topic.
Some topics we cover are:

• What got Nik into writing about funga
• Why he doesn't approve of the word Funga
• How long have we known about fungal reproduction?
• History on science
• Why is fungal reproduction important?
• How is it different from plants
• What are the steps
• How spores are dispersed
• How do animals help in this process?
• Is there a binary with fungal sex?
• A deep dive into the fungi reproduction parts
• Dog dick--stinkhorn?
• Possible research opportunity
• How can a mushroom be cooler than the air around it?
• How can Head and Shoulders relate to fungi?
• How fungi help the plants during reproduction
• Weird fungal sex fact
• Nik's outlook on humans
