Mycophile of the Week💕 ~ Taye Bright⁠ ⁠ "It is quite the challenging task to distill my love for fungi into a paragraph or two, mostly because my fascination and reverence for them defies the limitations of language. Fungi are what remind me I am part of a story so much bigger than my own.” - Taye Bright⁠ ⁠ Few people can spit so mush fungal fire 🍄🔥 with so much poetry and grace. Taye and Jasper will go LIVE on Sunday the 30th to discuss her upcoming course, fungi in general and bashing on their past conversations, probably something completely different too! ⁠ ⁠ Taye Bright is an applied mycologist, ecological regeneration practitioner, educator, artist, writer and medicine-maker orienting her life's work around how to be in a healing, reciprocal relationship with our respective ecologies and create life-ways in alignment with bioregional intelligence. 🧠🌱⁠ ⁠ She teaches fungi-focused classes & workshops and guides mushroom walks all around Northern-central California with the intention of providing accessible & embodied scientific education 👩‍🎓outside of conventional academia.⁠ ⁠ Taye is the owner and founder of @symbiiotica, a small business offering mycological consultations, eccentric art, nature-inspired poetry & wildcrafted fungal/botanical medicines 🤯⁠ ⁠ She has over 6 years of experience cultivating mushrooms and is a co-owner and operator of an outdoor, log-based mushroom 🍄farm named Moon Fruit Mushroom Farm ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ With a reverence for all things weird & wild 🃏, Taye is a devotee to the KINdom of Fungi and the holistic regeneration of our living Earth. She strives to illuminate the importance of inter-species kinship and to help deepen people's' sense of place and purpose as an integral part of Earth's unfolding story.⁠ ⁠ 🔥🎨by @symbiiotica ⁠@fire_._fish ⁠ Join us for the LIVE with Taye on Sunday the 30th ⁠
