Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and on today’s show we delve into the fascinating intersection of nature, health, and science through the lens of one of the most overlooked yet pivotal components of our ecosystem—fungi, mushrooms and mold. We have the privilege of hosting Smithsonian Associate Nicholas P. Money, a distinguished professor of biology at Miami University in Ohio, and a leading voice in the field of mycology.

Money will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check out our show notes today for more details about Nik Money’s full presentation, but we have Nik Money today to tell us all about Molds, Mushrooms and Medicine, which is the title of his presentation and his new book. 

 

Nicholas is here to discuss his upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation, "Molds, Mushrooms, and Medicines," and to share insights from his compelling new book, “Molds, Mushrooms, and Medicines: Our Lifelong Relationship with Fungi.”

 

In our conversation today, Dr. Nicholas Money will guide us on a journey into the marvelous unseen realm of fungi, revealing how these organisms are intricately woven into the fabric of our lives—aiding digestion, battling disease, and even challenging our perceptions of health and medicine. Today with Smithsonian Associate Dr. Nik Money we’ll explore the dual nature of fungi as both vital allies and formidable foes, the intricate dance between our immune system and the mycobiome, and the groundbreaking research into psychedelics for treating depression.

 

Whether you’re intrigued by the science behind fungi, interested in the implications for health and wellness, especially as we age, or simply curious about the natural world, this episode promises to shed light on the critical role fungi play in our world and how they continue to shape our health, culture, and future.
