My 2026 Valentines for the Times coloring document is ready! 4 hand-drawn pages of my original “sweetart-style conversation hearts”painted with brush pen in bold black, ready to print on 8.5x11” letter paper. Use color (like I did with my flag) or blank white for coloring printer paper or your cardstock of choice. From there your imagination takes off! Get crafty for your loves, galentines, friends and neighbors or anyone you agree and/or disagree with.
Unwind your nerves with the pleasure of using your hands and let’s all connect up our #myceliumofthebody and attune for the sake of everything that’s worthwhile! Get beyond the system and the sides. Thank you for supporting me with donations in the neighborhood of $5! Links in bio to donate. Message me for booklet link 🙏🏼
After much severing of bonds in the past years and being relegated to mostly false “platforms” and applications I’m reaching back out in my vulnerability. I’ve been rebuilding connection with myself, a timely and necessary medicine for me. But I can’t go forward alone. That would be a mistake.
I managed to create a kind of somatic listening community space in the past and wish I had never let a psyop shut it down. Maybe my collaborators would still be…well what happened is so much bigger than me. There is so much sorrow to process, and sometimes it will involve desperately needed levity. Are you here for it? #MYsillyYUM #MYCELIUMoftheBODY. Watch this space. I’m still figuring it out but we have to start.
Nativity. Birth. Separation. Death. Winter. Every year a hurry to process and distill everything that went on, capture and package a little of the ephemeral seasonal magic, and every year I struggle with what to offer in a time when everyone wants to give something, to honor their loved ones and connections. In reality I have an infinite backlog of gifts and creations to finish/package/let go. But what is it that needs birthing in this season of closure? What should be spoken or sung into this silence?
Sometimes I have toyed with the notion that holidays are arbitrary, diluted, and too commercialized to have any meaning anyway. But that feels hollow and self-defeating. Something IS happening. If we aren’t tapping into very old patterns of meaning-making by making merry and grieving, well…all of nature around us is very evidently “goin through it”. These days I’m leaning into the pleasure of the moment as much as possible. Savoring. Thanking you for being here. Thanking you for remaining in conflict ¬ bypassing.
This image is everything I’m not. I don’t exchange cultures these days and I have never offered en theo gens. I’m not Christian in the modern or traditional sense. And I’m not in a family (unless my cat is Jesus, which - no offense - arguably who isn’t if he merged w Oneness?) nor did I come from a traditional family unit. This is a snapshot of me playing with what’s around, constructing safety in new routines and the space they allow me to follow intuition, my Star in the East. It’s a moment of recalibrating, percolation of so much information I’m immersed in always. Mycelium is/can be a medium between my self, my Self, and my gut and its contents that I’m relearning how to organize and time, just like any other microbial shift. It’s structuring energy and water, crystallizing thought and condensing feeling.
So I have nothing to sell you right now. I’m still pondering every day the event I’m manifesting mentioned in my previous post. It’s getting pretty complex so lmk if you want to help. And I’m keeping my commitment to start face to face around LA again as promised before I had fever off and on for weeks…look for my smoke signal !
Our annual mushroom walking is happen next month guided by @lamushco !! Children will learn about local fungi, observe seasonal changes, and enjoy time on the trail together. With the rain finally arriving, conditions are just right for mushrooms to emerge, making this a rare and special opportunity to see what’s been quietly waiting beneath the soil. 🍄🟫🍄

Milk, cheese, shepherding is #ancestralmycology .
There, I said it.
Milk is the substrate; cheese is the fruit of the interspecies relationships on land, and even medicine as @milk_trekker has seen in Albania.
Ruminents are regeneration.
Dairy is culture.
Cheese is #placemaking out of flavor.
I am in search of this film that has haunted my dreams for a decade (thanks to fine family at MJT). Has anyone access to a high quality version we can screen for friends, ancestral mycologists, and beloveds?

Except you know…no need to be nasty. Walk gently on the earth, whatever cosmology you imagine or perceive, we know her by loving, doing, being with her. #LEAFandLETlie #ALLyouSPREADisLOVE it’s the only thing that lasts. This design was inspired by conversations with @200ryt - and here’s hoping she will realize her version soon. Happy Earth Month! It’s good to be here with you.
So fortunate for all the beings of light who show themselves to us, and gather to know one another and ourselves better. Thank you for the being in the twilit spaces, reconnecting the web with us. #365nm #uvfungi #twilightforay #trippingonnature #florafaunafunga #florafaunafungaforever
This is a silent auction for my “U R THE SHIITAKE” carved cap shiitake mushroom. It’s sort of ♥️ shaped cap or started that way and now is kind of saddle shaped. If you win and you live far it will be dried and mailed to you for rehydrating. Bidding starts at 1 US Dollarydoo and increases by 1 US Dollarydoo. You pay for ship (likely less than 8 $doos). May the best lover with the mushiest feels win.
