Fungal dispatches 🍄
Notes from the fungi field
As a reminder, if you’ve read my novel, Earthly Bodies, you’ll know that the world of mycelium and fungi is fascinating to me. I bring you the juice about this topic around once a month so that you can learn about it too.
Welcome to your semi-regular dispatch from the field. I read the news about fungi, so you don't have to.
A warning, I tend to start with the jolly, curious and enthusiastic stories, then will throw a few sinister ones in at the end for you all to muse upon.
Enjoy!
