The great Kingdom of Fungus never seizes to inspire and astonish!! Especially yesterday for Cory Lopez and Edgewalker Rootz as we unearthed this rare truffle eating cordyceps for the first thyme!

I feel grateful to explore in the timeless spaciousness enough to notice these wild sorts of wonders. And for the curious doorways that open from here.

Without knowing much of anything about Tolypocladium ophioglossoides, my nature nerdiness can't help but wonder more about their medicinal qualities. Has anyone utilized their sporting body’s cooling gifts here for hormonal balancing? Looking to discover more about what else's been recorded. Grateful too for those who keep records of all kinds, especially the old fashioned ways ;)

Who has knowledge to share about Tolypocladium ophioglossoides "goldenthread cordyceps" for medicine!?
Wondering about infusing a tincture or other experimenting you've tried. Thanks!

I'll follow with links to upcoming fungus foraging collaborations in with and Cumberland Forest as part of the .
Here's to celebrating community fungus-bathing at its finest 🍄❤️✨️

I'll be showing these specimens in person as part of wild mushrooms workshop in Foraging for Medicinal Mushrooms W/ RootZ

A little fuel for you, friends! Here's a musical celebration for Mother Earth and all of us included.

What would happen if we removed shame from our communication and embodied a language that has the power to inspire, motivate and demonstrate!?

🌱Invitation to comment with a seed of inspiration!

Maybe a photo, poem, quote... any celebration of kindness that LIFTS US UP! And allows us to experience progress from wherever we are in our journey.

This feels like community, heart-led restoration to me!

Robin guided our very mysterious quest today! Amongst 15 special rocks found in "Hemlock Graveyard" translated clues of eggshell and birdsong to piece together a spell to reveal the Forest fairies. This sort of magic can only be initiated, but mostly enchanted by and the beautiful beeings who work together to sense with a deeper perspective.

Even after two decades, this kind of wild work gives me goosebumps still. What a privledge it is to bee a part of a mentorship that acknowledges connection to everything alive, always translating.

Thank you to the subtle ways and Springs!

A small, magical and mighty Nature-based summer camp brews for 8 wild childs this July 14-16th in .
