Description

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!

Btw near the end of the episode Sean mentions carpenter ants farming fungi -- they don't. That's more like leafcutter ants. Carpenter ants *do* farm aphids, but that shit is different.

Profane, insane, and 100% primo science, Petri Dish is a no-BS podcast that explores the wildest subjects in modern science with clarity and evil joy. Hosted by Sean Allen, a Nanoparticle/Immunology Researcher, and Nathan Allen, his "screenwriter" brother, Petri Dish fuses hard science with a freewheeling and madcap conversational style. Cannabinoids, Plague, Cats, the dreaded Candiru, and the even more dreaded Covid-19: all these and more are dissected with intellect and irreverence, dropping every week. So reject ignorance. Join the Scientific Revolution. Join Petri Dish.
