Ep. 59 Fungus: The Good, The Bad, and The Zombie

<p>This week we're doing our second episode about Fungi! Last week we talked about what fungi even are in a broad sense. This week we cover symbiotic and pathogenic fungi, like the famous Cordyceps fungi!</p> <p>This episode is sponsored in part by Vaer Watches, which you can visit at &nbsp;<a href="https://www.vaerwatches.com/">https://www.vaerwatches.com/</a> &nbsp;to purchase beautiful curated photographs.

Carpenter ants *do* farm aphids, but that shit is different.</p> <p>This episode has a promo for For Your Reference, a podcast that reviews tv shows and movies! &nbsp;Check them out on Twitter &nbsp;@ForYourRefPod, at <a href="https://fyrpodcast.com/">https://fyrpodcast.com/</a>, and wherever you get your podcasts.</p> <p>Email us at petridishpod -at- <a href="https://gmail.com/"><u>gmail.com</u></a>.
