Picture a mushroom. What color is it? What kind of a texture does it have? Do you know how it smells and tastes?
How about what it sounds like? Strange as that question may be, there are many creative answers to it. Underground Noise invites you to the soundscape of the fungal world. From jaunty tunes about cooking mushrooms, to atmospheric strains from actual fungi, join host Mya Temanson for a special that might just shift the way you see — and hear — the world.
