KK sits down with Derek of D&D Meadery to explore the ancient, flavorful, and surprisingly approachable world of mead-making. Derek shares how mead, often considered the oldest fermented beverage, begins with the simple combination of honey, water, and yeast, but becomes deeply complex through fermentation, yeast selection, local honey sources, seasonal variation, and careful quality control. Together, KK and Derek discuss the history of mead, from its ritual and celebratory roots to its reputation as a drink once reserved for nobility, while also breaking down the modern process of creating traditional honey wine.

Derek walks through the importance of using high-quality raw honey, clean water, sanitation, and thoughtful fermentation practices, while explaining how different ingredients can shape the final flavor. The conversation touches on fruit meads, maple meads, dry and sweet styles, back-sweetening, stabilizing, and the creative possibilities of pairing honey with ingredients like coffee, cacao, and buckwheat honey. Derek also shares the story behind D&D Meadery’s German family crest, their award-winning traditional mead, and their growing wholesale presence across Northeast Ohio. From ancient fermentation to modern meadery expansion, this episode is a warm and educational introduction to the craft, culture, and creativity behind making mead

This episode was such a fun, open-minded wander through fungi, philosophy, psychedelics, podcasting, and the weird little threads that connect us all. KK sat down with Joel and Jacob from The Open Minded Podcast to talk about their journey as curious young hosts exploring psychology, religion, consciousness, and the big questions of life. The conversation drifted into mushrooms, plant medicine, psychedelic experiences, ego, perception, and how these moments can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. They also dug into what mushroom culture looks like in the UK compared to the U.S., touching on stigma, underground communities, and how normalized alcohol is while fungi still gets side-eyed. It was a thoughtful, funny, and curiosity-filled chat about growth, awareness, and staying open to the mystery.

In this episode of Flora Funga Podcast, KK sits down with Victoria to explore the complicated intersection of mycology, social media, AI moderation, and content creator survival. They discuss why mushroom-related accounts and cultivation content are increasingly vulnerable to automated takedowns, how AI-driven platform policies can misread educational mycology content as harmful, and why creators need stronger backups, clearer disclaimers, platform-specific strategies, and community advocacy. Victoria also shares practical insight into account recovery, algorithmic bias, AI governance, and how mushroom educators can stay resilient while continuing to spread fungal awareness online.

This episode is for educational and informational purposes only. Any discussion of mushrooms, mushroom cultivation, social media policy, account recovery, artificial intelligence, or platform moderation is not legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. Listeners are responsible for understanding and following the laws, regulations, and platform policies that apply in their location and on the platforms they use. Flora Funga Podcast does not encourage illegal activity, policy evasion, or unsafe mushroom practices. Our goal is to support education, awareness, responsible communication, and better understanding of how mycology content is treated online.

Meet Lois Duncun...She has a pretty wild and beautiful healing story. After going through systemic lupus, which is medically documented, she credits so much of her healing to plants, Indigenous medicines, mindset work, and Gene Keys. She feels like she’s lived a lot of lives in this one, and some of those chapters were really hard.

Through trauma, trial and error, and lessons learned the long way, she found her way back to radical accountability, purpose, and a deeper connection with herself. She learned how to turn pain into power, and now she really strives to live what she teaches.

She only guides people in spaces where she has true lived experience, where she’s done the work, and where she can speak from the heart. She is living proof that healing is possible. Not perfect, not always linear, but real — and that true peace in the soul is something we can come back to.
