Can humans create super-mushrooms? In this episode of The Mushroom Show, we are digging into the story of scientists in Australia who are unlocking the secrets of mushroom genetics in order to see what improvements can be made for future cultivars... and if they could use that to manipulate the compounds they create. We are also looking at some more "bad headlines" and the potential impact, wondering whether or not certain mushrooms should be "grown on poop", and digging into one of the rarest mushrooms of all that is currently showing up in Texas.
