Flora Funga Podcast
Hosted by KK
Hello my scientists. I’m (KK) Kaitlyn Kuehn a plant biologist looking to bridge the gap between plants, fungi, and humans. I have a thirst for mycology, (the study of fungi) and would love to educate the importance of plant and fungi interactions. Mushrooms and plants can and will help save the planet one hyphae at a time.
Mushrooms can help breakup plastics and radiation . Plants can communicate above and below ground with other plants and fungi. Without their connections we would not be able to grow food for the population nor have flowers around the world.
Did you know that the smell of fresh cut grass is actually the plant yelling for help? or the plants have some of the same disease genes as us?
If you like to get down and nerdy with plants, fungi, and other science facts find my podcast, “Flora Funga Podcast."
