the elusive forest
mycelium The sweet sun lit days have grown shorter and the first rains of the equinox are upon us. Do not despair, the days of Fall bring their own source of wonder. The nutrient influx of fallen leaves and the raised humidity of inclement weather support a whole new community of fascinating organisms. Mushrooms season is here!
