Fungi are among the most powerful yet overlooked climate allies. From storing vast amounts of carbon underground to breaking down pollutants and replacing plastic, fungi could be key to restoring ecological balance in a warming world.
This episode of "Environmental Connections" explores how mushrooms and mycelium are contributing to climate solutions — and what’s at stake if they disappear.
Our guests:

- Kimberlie Le, co-founder of Prime Roots, a sustainable protein company
