Enrich Your Life Through Mushroom Appreciation

Mushrooms It's a beautiful summer day when you spy something interesting while on a walk. It's a mushroom, the mysterious organism that is neither plant nor animal.

Yet what can mushrooms do for you?

I believe one of the ways to enhance our lives is through a respect and knowledge of the natural world, especially the mycological one. By learning about nature you learn ways to enhance your personal health and that of the environment around you.

Mushroom Identification - Berkelely's Polypore I’ve been growing and cooking my own fungal creations for almost ten years, and admiring them in the wild my whole life. Along the way I’ve had many successes, some failures, and even the dreaded "lost in the woods" experience!

My hobby eventually turned into a passion as I read and experimented as much as I could. I’d love to share what I know with you.

There are so many ways to appreciate helpful fungi. Here you’ll find:

Free advice on growing your own. Whether using a kit or starting from spore and making your own spawn, cultivation is fun and rewarding. Even a houseplant killer like me can do it!
