I created this blog as a means to bridge the gap between my botanical medicine studies at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) and my community. After achieving the Master of Science degree, this blog faded to a digital hibernation while I continued to focus on the medicine.
Many an herbalist, if being honest, can tell you that there is an unfortunate gap in the study of botanical medicine: the study of fungi. Personally I do not find this acceptable, so for the time being I am pursuing the elusive title, Mycologist. I decided to continue the old blog to include some of my mycological musings. Thus, the incredible myceliated organism is fruited: Appalachian Plant Magic and Mushrooms.
To my readers, fresh and properly preserved: Appalachia is a diverse kingdom of symbiotic forest life. In my eyes, Appalachia is the underrated Amazon. I endeavor to share what I know about the modest but rich Appalachian kingdom, but the real magic happens when we share our appreciation with one another.
I would love to hear from Appalachian natives as well as those whose inspiring curiosities guide them to this blog, wherever in the world you are. Do you have a special plant you'd like to chat about? Maybe an uncommon use for a particular plant or mushroom?
Should the Muse strike, I look forward to your message in the comments
section.
If you have any suggestions or questions and prefer to chat
privately, feel free to email me.
Cheers.
