America’s Delicious Bolete Invades Europe — a fascinating deep dive into invasive species, mushroom ecology, forest ecosystems, and global fungal migration. How did a prized North American bolete cross the Atlantic and begin appearing in European forests? Was it accidental, agricultural, ecological — or inevitable?

In this investigative documentary episode, we explore mycorrhizal networks, global plant trade, climate adaptation, and the hidden fungal highways beneath our feet. This is a story about food, forests, biosecurity, and how interconnected our world truly is.

If you’re interested in mushrooms, ecology, environmental science, forest biology, invasive species, and wild food culture, this episode will completely change how you look at the forest floor.

Beneath every forest is a network. And sometimes… something new arrives.
