 Peter Pan and I explore the fascinating and often misunderstood story of the coca plant—from its ancient Indigenous roots to its controversial connection with Coca-Cola. Peter breaks down the history of coca-infused tonics, the creation of Coca-Cola, the company’s unique access to imported coca leaves, and the ongoing questions surrounding the plant’s commercialization and criminalization. The conversation also dives into the four major cultivated varieties of coca, traditional preparation methods such as yipta, cal, poporo, and mambé, and the cultural role coca continues to play across Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and the Amazon. Together, they discuss coca as a nutritious plant medicine, its similarities to tea, the impact of colonial drug policies, and modern efforts to protect Indigenous traditions and reconsider coca’s international legal status.

Frank Hyman returns to the Flora Funga Podcast to dive into his newest book, Ripe Tomato Revolution, a playful and practical guide that uses tomatoes as the gateway into gardening, self-reliance, and finding your calling. Known for How to Forage for Mushrooms Without Dying, Frank brings his signature mix of humor, science, storytelling, and hands-on experience to everything from growing and transplanting tomatoes to drip irrigation, trellising, rain protection, pest management, heirlooms, hybrids, and why healthy gardens depend on working with beneficial insects instead of spraying everything in sight. Along the way, he shares stories from his unconventional path as a “successful college dropout,” reflections on mastering multiple callings, and practical wisdom from decades of farming, carpentry, writing, and gardening. This episode also wanders into wonderfully weird territory, including tomato-tobacco grafting, the possibility of “nicotine tomatoes,” Everglade tomatoes on Naked and Afraid, and why the humble tomato can teach us so much about plants, people, purpose, and resilience.

Tyler Hacking returns to talk about his new mushroom map guides and the GIS technology behind them. Tyler explains how his scientific background in mycology and geospatial analysis led him to create predictive mushroom maps using tools like ArcGIS Pro. Instead of simply copying public mushroom sightings, his process layers historical collection data with habitat factors such as tree associations, water, fire history, elevation, soil, slope, aspect, and other ecological parameters to predict where mushrooms are most likely to grow. He focuses especially on morels, but also discusses other edible mushrooms like chicken of the woods, oyster mushrooms, pheasant back, and porcini.
Tyler walks through how the guides are built state by state, with current maps including places like California, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin in progress. Each guide includes multiple high-resolution maps and hundreds of specific GPS coordinates designed to help foragers save time, gas, and frustration by getting closer to likely mushroom habitat. He also emphasizes that the maps are meant to support responsible mushroom hunting, including ethical harvesting practices, proper identification, and sustainable foraging. The conversation also touches on fire morels, the limits of public databases, customer feedback, affiliate opportunities, donations to mycological societies, and Tyler’s future plans for commercial, medicinal, and nutraceutical mushroom mapping.
