Author Greg Marley shared his extensive knowledge of mushrooms on the Community Kitchens program of Portland, Maine’s Community Television Network in November.

He displayed and discussed several varieties of Amanita, which are poisonous, and described the ritualistic use of fungi throughout history. He also shared numerous edible and medicinal mushroom varieties, and cooked up a delicious-looking Black Trumpet Mushroom and Chicken Sauté with host Candice Lee.

Greg’s book is Chanterelle Dreams, Amanita Nightmares: The Love, Lore, and Mystique of Mushrooms. Have a look at the video episode below to learn more.

Chanterelle Dreams, Amanita Nightmares is available now.
