Readers looking for a resource that puts the "fun" in "fungi" may enjoy this episode of the podcast Ologies (featured in the 8-02-2019 Scout Report) titled "Mycology (MUSHROOMS) with Dr. Tom Volk." The episode is slightly over an hour long and features a conversation between host Alie Ward, an Emmy-winning science correspondent, and Dr. Tom Volk, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse who specializes in fungi. Chocked full of jokes and insights, listeners will learn about everything from how to properly pronounce the word "fungi" to fungus reproduction and fungal genetics. In addition to a detailed fungus discussion, the podcast also features moving commentary on Dr. Volk's heart transplant surgery (which has also been featured in a TED Talk titled, "A Change of Heart: My Transplant Experience"). His key takeaway? Every day is good. Those who enjoy the podcast may also want to check out Dr. Volk's website, linked at the bottom of the page. Though not updated since 2010, it does feature archives such as "Fungus of the Month," housing over a decade of monthly posts highlighting unique species. Listeners can also find the podcast on Stitcher, iTunes, Spotify, and Omny, and may enjoy other podcast episodes covering topics such as phenology and paleontology.
