Today we are delighted to welcome Dr. Tom Volk— one of the most established mycologists in the United States. Tom talks about the academic myco-culture and how much it has changed over the years, as well as the capacities of studying mycology at an academic institution. He also shares his journey of getting a heart transplant, and how fungi have affected his health throughout his life. 


Dr. Tom Volk is a well known mycologist who received a PHD in botany with a minor in genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he is currently teaching. Dr. Volk has mentored hundreds of students in the mycology field, has taught internationally and been a feature on TED talks.
