In this moment I am very grateful for my friends and family who’ve given me a place to stay, called for a chat and supported me in many other way on this journey to launch The Lovely Fungus Company.
It feels good to be back on the blog again. Thanks for your patience during this little break from updates as I try to recover my energy for the last few steps to fully launching The Lovely Fungus Company. Although I’ve taken a break from the blog my work has continued and I will soon be announcing a series of workshops around the country for May, June and July. We will start with ‘Meeting the mycelium – An introduction to fungi and mushroom cultivation‘ and see where we want to deepen our explorations together from there. Its going to be fun, inspirational and empowering for us all – I am super excited!
I am working towards offering my workshops on a sponsorship model , much like The Rebel Business School, so that the lovely folk who attend them do not need to pay directly for their place. My intention is to make my workshops accessible to everyone while still allowing me to meet my needs and grow The Lovely Fungus Company. By finding individuals and businesses that would like to sponsor workshops to happen in their communities, as well as inviting participants to pay for their own place and/or sponsor another participant to attend, I hope that we can work together to make the workshops as inclusive as we can. If you’re interested in supporting me and your community with sponsorship then please get in touch.
I am currently a little North of Birmingham, staying with some friends whilst I balance the need to rest and recover with keeping up my work to launch The Lovely Fungus Company. I’m intending to get myself up to Hartlepool for the second week of the Rebel Business School course, in-person, and am grateful for the support of friends to re-ignite that dream. I’m looking forward to meeting some of the Rebel team and participants and getting some valuable support to build on the incredible progress I’ve made over the last few weeks. I’ve joined the course online a little bit this week and there are some great folk building amazing businesses that I hope I can offer more of my support to while I’m there.
I hope you’re all warm and well with lots of inspiration bubbling up for the year ahead as Spring gathers momentum.
Peace and Mush Love,
Chris Forest

Hi Chris, thank you so much for the introduction to mycelium talk you gave at a mutual friend’s home growing community gathering. I learned so much more than I expected and discovered much to be inspired by and even awed by, as is often the case with our dear mother nature. Your knowledge and passion for your subject shines through and I wish you every success with your journey
