Dr. Nancy Keller was recently featured on the Larry Miller podcast, where she joined fellow UW–Madison professor Anne Pringle to discuss the dangers of the invasive death cap mushroom. One of the most poisonous fungi in the world, the death cap has been found in Wisconsin, raising concerns for foragers and outdoor enthusiasts.
In the episode, Dr. Keller shares her expertise on the mushroom’s toxic chemistry, how it spreads, and—most importantly—how people can recognize and avoid it.
