Grey skies and freezing rain, be gone! In your stead we call upon gentle breezes carrying the soft perfumes of delicate blossoms, the faint hummm of bees as they light from here to there, the sudden emergence of fungi as they return again, quietly beckoning us to look with eyes afresh…


Mycena subcaerulea, Beech Mill trail, 62924
First described in 1873 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck. He found them growing on the trunks of decaying beech trees in the woods of the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York.

Are oyster mushrooms a sustainable space crop? I can’t wait to find out….

Described as the “perfect space crop,” the nutritious and ready-to-eat fungus could be a key stepping stone toward fueling crew members during long-term spaceflight

Hi everyone, it has been a while since my last update so I wanted to write a little to keep you all in the loop! A little PSA, if you will. Unfortunately my website is still completely crashed in spite of my husband’s best efforts to try to fix it… he is putting in one last ditch effort this weekend before we call in the experts. Hopefully it will be back up and going in the next couple of weeks. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, especially for anyone with a gift certificate or coupon they want to use! Please don’t hesitate to send a direct message through Facebook or Instagram or email [email protected] with any inquiries. You can also place an order that way for pick up at the Little Village space on Fridays. I am also still offering limited free local delivery options. For our mushroom teas, too! Nolt’s also carries our complete line… (they are on the end cap with their other tea selections.)
The Little Village space is coming along! My plan is to have our mushroom resource collection available for fungal identification fun by the time the mushrooms start popping in the woods… Lots more in the works. More news soon! -Lara

The woman who designed my beautiful logo has received a grant to curate and design a publication featuring local creatives, characters, and anyone who likes to exist ‘outside of the box’. I am so excited to see this project unfold and to celebrate all the wonderful ‘Yokels’ in our area! https://www.facebook.com/61573641278918/posts/122112803978788042/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

If you're a maker of things but don't fit in at a typical craft fair, I would LOVE to meet you.
