Cooking has taken me to incredible places.

I'm heading out to places I've never been before

and to create new dishes inspired by nature.

I'm teaming up with some of the world's greatest explorers

to go further than I've ever gone before.

I love how excited you get about fungal organisms.

- To push my craft, creativity, and my cooking.

Rainforests, they cover just 6% of our planet,

Not only do they bring balance to our environment

by filtering the air we breathe, but they're home

Including some species that are staples in my kitchen.

We're here in the Olympic National Forest,

home to one of the only temperate rain forests

and she studies one of my favorite ingredients, mushrooms.

I'm meeting Korena in what's known as an old growth forest,

- [Korena] Welcome to Olympic National Forest.

Are you up for a hike? - I would love that.

I'm a fungal ecologist, and I study the interactions

between plants and fungi and the soil systems.

I love being out here in these beautiful old growth forests.

and I'm so lucky to be able to call it my office.

The ones that we do see are usually mushrooms,

and mushrooms come in all shapes and forms

and they fulfill so many different ecological roles.

They have been here for so long, much longer than us

and they provide a balance in the ecosystem.

and her utilization of mushrooms in the kitchen

So our plan is to start at Merriman Falls

and we're hopefully gonna find some really cool things.

But you have to go through some difficulty

to get to these places that are just so beautiful

- So the moss that you see draping off these trees

and then it really has to do with the age of the trees,

- They're old. Yeah. - They're like ancient.

- Some trees out here are well over 500 years old,

A lot of people come to see these mats of moss

what is under those mossy mats that we call canopy soil.

So under those beautiful draping mats of moss

we actually have this organic matter that accumulates

out of their branches into those mats of moss.

It's an uptake nutrients from those mats.

There's so much life here that's happening

You really have the coolest job in the whole world.

- So where do we start to hunt for mushrooms?
