We had an absolute blast with Sage (aka the Bad Naturalist) for episode 103 of Let’s Learn Everything! We talked all things fungi. From its confusing classification to the joy of mushroom graffiti- this episode is so jam packed, there want mush-room for anything else! 🍄🍄‍🟫

Are octopuses the result of an extraterrestrial virus infecting a population of early squid!? They are according to this real image from a paper. We're not so convinced. But we do learn some other pretty sick stuff about these strange cephalopods on the latest episode of Let's Learn Everything!
