3 December 2025, 3:00 pm - 36 minutes 3 seconds193: The Mushroom Finds You: Ceremony, Healing, and Creative Power with Edward Crowe
Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review
Edward Crowe joins KK to explore his deeply personal relationship with psychedelic mushrooms—spanning visionary experiences, ceremonial practices, and the role fungi play in his creative and healing journey. Edward shares vivid stories from his psychedelic visions, including cultural and ancestral imagery, and explains how these experiences have shaped his worldview.
He walks KK through his approach to facilitating one-on-one ceremonies grounded in intention, safety, and respect, highlighting practices such as outdoor sacred spaces, crystal work, and yearly participation. Edward also discusses his dosing philosophy, the importance of purging, microdosing lessons, and how mushroom use has positively supported his focus and path in the music industry.
The conversation dives into Edward’s “mushroom healing journey,” where a series of synchronicities reinforced his belief that mushrooms find the people who need them. New website launch, upcoming projects like Murder Cigars and his photography collaborations, and his belief in a “psychic mycelial network” connecting fellow travelers.
We close with a candid discussion about psychedelic safety, the risks of commercialization, and why education and integrity must remain central to mushroom work.

19 November 2025, 3:00 pm - 8 minutes 28 seconds191: New Fungus Lowers Inflammation AND Cancer Cells
Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review
New research from Taiwan revealing a rare forest fungus with remarkable anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Discovered growing on the endangered stout camphor tree, this cultivated mushroom produces a compound called N50 F2, a sulfated galacto-glucan that blocks inflammation signals and halts cancer cell proliferation—particularly in lung cancer—by triggering programmed cell death. The study highlights how this fungus bridges traditional medicine and modern biotechnology, showing potential for future health supplements and cancer therapies. KK ties it back to her own journey with inflammation management using mushrooms like reishi, chaga, and turkey tail, and encourages listeners to explore this discovery, stay curious, and keep “lowering inflammation one mushroom at a time.”
Fungus compound shows promise in cancer and inflammation

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review
Giovanni, founder of the Shatter Foundation and organizer of the Shatter the Stigma 5K, shared his mission to raise awareness and funds for psychedelic-assisted therapy for veterans and first responders. His foundation, nonprofit, partners with the Florida International University Society of Psychedelic Science (FIU SPS) and plans to expand to other universities. He emphasized responsible psychedelic use through guided integration and intention-setting, while discouraging casual or unregulated use. Giovanni and KK discussed the challenges of promoting plant medicine on social media, including censorship and funding barriers, which led to creative solutions like selling “Golden Shroom” necklaces to support research and advocacy. Through events, partnerships, and scholarships, the Shatter Foundation aims to destigmatize psychedelics, fund research, and advocate for therapy access—encouraging curiosity and community around the healing potential of these medicines.

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a Review
Fungitarian is a wellness movement and brand founded by Johnny James, built on his personal journey of healing through mushrooms after struggling with burnout and addiction. Their team of mycologists, scientists, and wellness advocates creates high-quality functional mushroom products—tinctures, gummies, and extracts—made from organic, U.S.-grown or wild-harvested fruiting bodies with clean, transparent formulas. Beyond products, their mission is about reconnection: to self, community, food, and purpose, guided by the ancient intelligence of fungi and supported by science. They emphasize education, especially for underserved youth, on how fungi heal bodies, restore ecosystems, and inspire futures. With a vision to build a movement of 10 million “Fungitarians,” they aim to shift culture toward everyday mushroom use, sustainable food systems, and holistic wellness rooted in nature.
