A Celebration of and with friends (and family)

Some Dryads Saddle fruiting bodies (Cerioporus squamosus) I met just a short walk away from my friend Sanna’s house

In this moment I am grateful for friends, family and fungi. I’m also grateful for my love of alliteration.

Yesterday evening I had a very supportive and celebratory phone call with my friend Sanna who is probably my biggest cheerleader with this journey of starting a fungi based business. Thanks Sanna and to my sister, mum and various other friends who I spoke to over the afternoon and evening. When times get more challenging I’ve learned that I’m far more able to meet them and make progress when I have social connection and a few words of encouragement. Hugs definitely help too.

This afternoon my van/home is in the garage to work out what’s broken on the gears, how much it’ll cost and how long he’ll be out of action. I’m grateful for offers of a place to sleep if he needs to be kept over night and I’m still trusting that I’ll find a way to pay for the repairs. It’ll be good to know what we’re dealing with and I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the bill is on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Wish us luck!

Over the next few days I will be working to launch a few offerings for some nourishing experiences of connection with fungi and fellow fungi lovers. Keep a look out for posts and a new Offerings page that will be appearing as things develop. I’m excited to see how they land, who’s interested and what grows from them.

Have a beautiful and fungi filled day wherever you are and whatever this day brings you.

Peace and Mush Love,

Chris Forest

Sunset with my van home ‘Ivan’ – Good luck this afternoon mate!
