Today on the show I am going to play some old interviews I have done over the years, to begin with I will play you my first in the field report in which I took a beginners edible weeds class with David Diggles. David is an edible weed forager and runs tours in Brisbane. I joined one of his tours and found some interesting facts about the plants that pop up in sidewalk cracks.

In the second half of the show I will play an interview with fungal ecologist Dr Sapphire McMullan-Fisher. Dr McMullan-Fisher is a mycologist that is in the process of researching and writing a book exposing the elusive world of native mycelium and specifically the reciprocal nature that fungi has with the native plants in our bushland.

Dr Sapphire McMullan-Fisher and Roz Hart are in the finishing process of putting their book out for the public, but they still need your help. Head to https://fungi4land.com/help-us/ to find out more.
