Universe Within Podcast Ep144 - Jasper Degenaars - Mushrooms, Mycology, & their Ancient Use
Hey everybody! Episode 144 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jasper Degenaars of @Fungiacademy . Jasper was recommended to me by our mutual friend Jeff Chilton (episode 81). Jasper is a mycologist and educator and it was really a pleasure to sit down and speak with Jasper. We got into mycology, a bit of education on mushrooms, their medicinal and spiritual use, the history of mushroom use in ancient cultures around the world, and even the ideas that their use was at the forefront of modern spiritual practices and even advanced the evolution of humans. Jasper has a wealth of knowledge and I think is a kindred spirit on this pursuit of knowledge and wisdom and I really enjoyed this conversation and believe you will as well.
