Merlin Sheldrake - The Hidden Intelligence of Fungi
Manage episode 446446488 series 3449877
In this episode of Brain We Are, we explore the amazing world of fungi with Merlin Sheldrake, biologist and author of Entangled Life. Fungi are more than just mushrooms – they form vast networks that communicate, process information, and have surprising effects on the world around us.
We discuss whether fungi could be conscious, how they communicate, and their potential role in shaping weather and even influencing our minds. Merlin also shares his personal experiences with psychedelics and how mushrooms can grow in the most unexpected places.
Tune in for a fascinating look at how fungi connect life on Earth in ways you might never expect!
