In a burning world that still asks women to hold so much, we honour those who nurture change from the ground up. 

Today and every day, we celebrate the women growing community, connection, and resilience. Our strength is shared, and regeneration starts at the roots. 🌱

Happy International Women’s Day from the Mushroom Maidens & Mamas alike! 🍄♥️

“Matriarchy doesn’t mean women take over.
It means care becomes the centre,
It means children are safe,
It means the Earth is protected,
It means that no one is disposable.”

Matriachy now ✊

Who wants to hear some positive news? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hopefully a welcome break to current affairs, maybe? (Who are we kidding). But, some good tidings for the mushroom heads nonetheless…

Cordyceps is coming back, baby! 🥳

We can’t grow Cordyceps militaris, but we have travelled the world and the seven seas to find an alternative - she goes by the name of Cordyceps sinensis, and she’s not only fully compliant to Novel Foods regulations - and of course ’s high organic standards, she packs an inimitable punch. ✨

Boasting unmatched levels of adenosine and an alcohol free formulation - our new tincture is enough to put a spring in the step of dragging heels and low energy feels.

Plus some exciting new additions that we’ll fill you all in on very soon. 🫶🏼

Who’s ready for a Cordyceps revival? We know we are.

Stay tuned for more 🍄♥️

Things have been cooking in our kitchen…

(Strange affliction, courtesy of a certain outdated regulatory framework.)

We’re still working away behind the scenes to permanently change the Novel Foods status of two of our most beloved mushrooms, for good and for all. It’s a long road, but we’re treading it - step by step, month by month, with some amazing people alongside us. 💪🏼

That said, it’s going to cost a hell of a lot more than we have, and we’re still a long way off our target.

Thank you to every single person who has contributed so far! There have been some truly generous donations from our community and beyond, and we appreciate every single one. 🙏🏼

If you’re able to contribute by sharing, donating or just telling your pals. It all adds up.

Comment GO FUND ME for the link. ♥️

And, rest assured, these funds are being carefully managed to ensure every penny goes towards covering the costs of this complex beast. We will be sharing more with all of you at every step.

So mush love from us x

Spring is springing! 🌼

Finally.

Alas, its been one hell of a long winter. Especially without our Cordyceps 💔 and especially for those of us that suffer with SAD.

Rest assured, we’ve been working like maniacs behind the scenes to bring you something new, improved (and above board and legal) - we can’t wait to share more.

What do you think we’ve been cooking up in the tincture kitchen?

Share this with your SAD pals 🫶🏼

Gong Xi Fa Cai! 🧧

Out with the wood snake 🐍 in with the fire horse…

Chinese New Year began as an agrarian celebration - a spring festival honouring land, ancestoral connection and the seasonal forces at the elbow between winter and planting season.

Still celebrated across much of Asia and far beyond, CNY is marked with house-clearing, reunion dinners, lanterns, lion dances, offerings, firecrackers and angpow (or hóngbāo) little red envelopes filled with an abundance of crisp notes.

Each place that celebrates honours the themes of renewal and reunion through its own local plants, foods, deities and seasonal rituals. 💮

This year we step into the Year of the Horse: a zodiac sign linked with vitality, independence and momentum.
Horse years arrive every 12 years, (fun fact: both Elle & Tom were born on horse years!) but Fire Horse years are rarer - 1966 and now 2026 - which have a reputation for fiery transformation, course-correcting and political change (yes please).

We’re also just emerging from a Snake year, which has been a long cycle of moulting and microscopic honesty. Snakes shed by loosening the old layer, bracing against the earth and sliding forward; this Horse year is the part where we test how that new skin moves in real time.

For us fungi loving folk, it’s also a reminder that horses and mushrooms share habitat. Grasslands, forests and stable floors are mycelial metropolises; fungi quietly compost the past so that hooves, roots and humans have something living to run on.

So here’s to new beginnings and galloping towards the spring ~ why not clear a corner, call in community and cook some nourishing food, thank the soil beneath your feet and the people who brought you this far. Oh the places we’ll go together, this year and beyond…

Here’s to ringing in the Fire Horse Energy 🐎

Friday the 13th isn’t cursed, it just carries a lot of inherited propaganda. 🧹🌝

Friday used to be a day to honour a fierce, sensual, war‑wise goddess. In Norse and wider Germanic lore, the Goddesses Freyja & Fr**ga represented magic, fate, love and fertility.

The number 13 itself is old lunar tech: 13 moons a year, roughly 13 menstrual cycles, a body‑clock synced to the sky. But as patriarchal, solar‑centred religions took over, goddess days, covens of 13 and lunar rites were steadily demonised.

Today though, you get to choose your myth. Is Friday 13th a day to hunker down in superstition, or to realign with the slow, fungal, cyclical intelligence of the living world? 🍄

With the harrowing news circulating mainstream media right now, it feels like a more important time than ever to ground ourselves into the matriarchal belief systems that predate Christianity on these shores and beyond.

Be sure to look after your nervous system today, a little Reishi in your tea, deep breaths, an actual lunch. Give a nod to the waning crescent moon hiding behind the blanket of clouds, or light a candle for Freya ~ and all the women and girls who have fallen victim to the patriarchal complex. 🕯️

Happy Friday 13th ♥️
