Putting the Fun back in Fungi. My life as a budding, or rather sporulating mycologist.

 


Wearing several hats, including my biggest one, the Fungi hat.

Returning to my roots in the biological sciences is now a deep passion, which in a small way, adds to my contribution to save the planet. Along with being a Texas Master Naturalist, and a World Wild Life Federation Ambassador, I am now on a fantastic journey of becoming a mycologist.  Yes, I know, so many hats, however, the Fungi hat is now my favorite. 

After reading Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake and of course, following Mycology guru, Paul Stamets (Ted Talk on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world), I am now a radical mycologist. Yes, the long neglected Fungi is our only hope. My learning journey includes a college mycology textbook, and enrollment in several classes to become a certified mycologist.

As a science educator I hope to develop curriculum to teach others about the wonderful world of fungi.
