This looks so good. I now want a book group for the summer to read it and to sit outside and discuss amongst the plants and fungi.
I went to college with Dr. Kaishian and, though we are not close, I am so honored to have her in my “mycelial network” and I cannot wait to read her book. I got my preorder copy yesterday. Please consider ordering/reading 🍄
I was sent a free signed copy of Forest Euphoria by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian omg
I gave it a good review + nominated it for Indie Bound and absolutely did not expect this ahhhhh
The book comes out May 27th and I highly recommend it!!
