Welcome!
I’m Amanda and I am so glad you are here! I am a mother, a teacher, and a creative on a journey towards a natural, sustainable, and healthy lifestyle. Why Mushroom Momma? Mushrooms and the fungi kingdom are my holy grail for all things natural health. From culinary and medicinal mushrooms to fermented foods, come learn a thing or two about the world of fungi, and everything in between!
Like a mushroom, I try to find growth anywhere I can. Mushrooms grow on trees, in the ground, on buildings, and some even on insects! (I’m lookin’ at you, cordyceps) Live authentic. Live intentional. Allow growth. Welcome!
