Fungi throw our concepts of individuality, and even intelligence, into question. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disasters. By examining fungi on their own terms, we are changing our understanding of how life works. * In this episode, Merlin Sheldrake, biologist and author of the bestselling book Entangled Life, is joined by CIIS professor of Ecology and Religion Elizabeth Allison for an illuminating conversation about the ways these extraordinary organisms, and our relationships with them, change our understanding of the planet on which we live, and the ways that we think, feel, and behave. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on May 5th, 2023.
