On this West Virginia Morning, a WVU professor and microbiology student working with a popular flower at a university lab recently found an elusive fungus that produces effects similar to a drug being used to treat depression, PTSD and addiction. Bill Lynch talks with both student and professor about their startling discovery and what comes next.
Plus, on this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes American Patchwork Quartet, The Brother Brothers, and Stephanie Lambring to the historic Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg. Our Song of the Week from Kyshona is a live performance of “Carolina.”
