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

Carpenter ants *do* farm aphids, but that shit is different. This episode has a promo for For Your Reference, a podcast that reviews tv shows and movies!
