Discovered growing on the endangered stout camphor tree, this cultivated mushroom produces a compound called N50 F2, a sulfated galacto-glucan that blocks inflammation signals and halts cancer cell proliferation—particularly in lung cancer—by triggering programmed cell death. The study highlights how this fungus bridges traditional medicine and modern biotechnology, showing potential for future health supplements and cancer therapies. KK ties it back to her own journey with inflammation management using mushrooms like reishi, chaga, and turkey tail, and encourages listeners to explore this discovery, stay curious, and keep “lowering inflammation one mushroom at a time.” Fungus compound shows promise in cancer and inflammationZbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next daySupport the showGoFundME If you like the podcast please think of donating to Keep the show happening $keenie19 on Cash App Follow my other social media sites to interact and engage with me:Email me to be on the podcast or inperson Interview: floraandfungapodcast@gmail.com FacebookInstagramTwitterTikTokYouTubePatreon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next day SUPPORT THE SHOW: Join my Patreon for only $1/month [THATS only .03 cents a day!] ***I am an affiliate with ENERGYBITS (your daily a...

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a ReviewGiovanni, founder of the Shatter Foundation and organizer of the Shatter the Stigma 5K, shared his mission to raise awareness and funds for psychedelic-assisted therapy for veterans and first responders. His foundation, nonprofit, partners with the Florida International University Society of Psychedelic Science (FIU SPS) and plans to expand to other universities. He emphasized responsible psychedelic use through guided integration and intention-setting, while discouraging casual or unregulated use. Giovanni and KK discussed the challenges of promoting plant medicine on social media, including censorship and funding barriers, which led to creative solutions like selling “Golden Shroom” necklaces to support research and advocacy. Through events, partnerships, and scholarships, the Shatter Foundation aims to destigmatize psychedelics, fund research, and advocate for therapy access—encouraging curiosity and community around the healing potential of these medicines.Fundraising Run | Society of Psychedelic Science at FIU | MiamiUSE CODE "FLORAFUNGA10"Shatter The Stigma 5k: Run/Walk: For Those Who Served Online Registration Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next daySupport the showGoFundME If you like the podcast please think of donating to Keep the show happening $keenie19 on Cash App Follow my other social media sites to interact and engage with me:Email me to be on the podcast or inperson Interview: floraandfungapodcast@gmail.com FacebookInstagramTwitterTikTokYouTubePatreon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next day SUPPORT THE SHOW: Join my Patreon for only $1/month [THATS only .03 cents a day!] ***I am an affiliate with ENERGYBITS (your daily a...

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a ReviewFungitarian is a wellness movement and brand founded by Johnny James, built on his personal journey of healing through mushrooms after struggling with burnout and addiction. Their team of mycologists, scientists, and wellness advocates creates high-quality functional mushroom products—tinctures, gummies, and extracts—made from organic, U.S.-grown or wild-harvested fruiting bodies with clean, transparent formulas. Beyond products, their mission is about reconnection: to self, community, food, and purpose, guided by the ancient intelligence of fungi and supported by science. They emphasize education, especially for underserved youth, on how fungi heal bodies, restore ecosystems, and inspire futures. With a vision to build a movement of 10 million “Fungitarians,” they aim to shift culture toward everyday mushroom use, sustainable food systems, and holistic wellness rooted in nature.All resources mentioned on florafungapodcast.com/184Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next dayGaia's Garden GoodsRegenerating Ecosystems through AgricultureDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

She gets detailed with acorns—flour, starch, oil, and even liqueur—exploring their culinary versatility and cultural history. The conversation branches out into the rise and fall of the American chestnut, hybridization efforts, and the sometimes steamy dynamics of forest management, from masting events where trees “all go at once” to indigenous fire practices that keep ecosystems in balance. We reveal how mixed forests and diverse diets are not only good for the planet but also downright irresistible, leaving listeners nutty for more.All resources mentioned on florafungapodcast.com/183 Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next dayNature DisturbedMother Nature is one weird ladyListen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifyGaia's Garden GoodsRegenerating Ecosystems through AgricultureDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
