Delving Into The Underworld Network and Become Friends of Fungi - An Interview with Herbalist Tanya Donatelli The Forest Bath

Welcome friends to episode three of the Forest Bath Podcast! Long awaited! I've been so excited to share and reconnect with you all! I really appreciate your patience for this episode and upcoming ones in the future. It does indeed take a long time to plan, write and schedule with all of our special guests. Thank you so, so much! 

In this episode of the Forest Bath Podcast we are taking a walk with the mushrooms! Mushrooms are some of the first and most ancient primordial beings on this planet. There have been cultures, ideas, medicine, religion and spirituality, solutions and consciousness all expanded by the fungi kingdom. Today, we will walk and learn a little about our fungi friends with a dear human friend, herbalist and mushroom enthusiast Tanya Donatelli! 

In the episode we will explore functional mushrooms and their role in herbal medicine and holistic healing, basic beginner friendly foraging advice, some culinary mushroom musings, as well as learning about Tanya’s own walk on the plant path to becoming a very accomplished herbalist, teacher, and small business maven newly relocated here on Wabanaki land. It's a fun one and I dearly hope that you enjoy it.
