It’s the most wonderful time of the year... ☔️

When feasts, cheer, gifts - and cold & flus - are all shared abundantly.

And truthfully, since the pandemonium of 2020, we all seem to be a little more conscious about germ-sharing in general.

Common colds, viral loads, and the fall-out that follows, however - are absolutely nothing new. While the English language can be rather short on emotional language - we have a fair few phrases to describe being ill.

Funny that! 🤧

Which is your go-to when you’re feeling out of sorts?

Ps! Don’t forget! We’ve got something in the works to help fortify your family’s defences over the festive season, so that; should you start feeling under the weather, a little iffy, or indeed sick as a dog - you can count on your body’s natural defences to get you feeling right as rain once again.

You’re cordially invited to join our waitlist to get early & exclusive access, a glorious free gift with your first order and an opportunity to join us at some very special events.

An ode to optimism 🫶🏼

Having words for positive emotion helps to shape the way we experience the world. Language gives us a framework for understanding and naming what we feel, and when we have words for joy, wonder, gratitude, or hope, we can recognise and amplify those experiences...
..Conversely, when our emotional vocabulary is skewed toward negative feelings, it’s easy for our focus to drift toward what’s going wrong.

It’s not about toxic positivity, either. There’s science to this phenomenon: research in psychology shows that people who can label their positive emotions experience them more intensely and recover from stress more quickly.

Studies in affective neuroscience suggest that naming emotions engages parts of the brain involved in regulation, helping us process feelings rather than being overwhelmed by them.

Inspired by the wonderful work of writer & historian 🙏🏼

So tell us friend, what positive word resonates most with you today?

Blessed Samhain, folks! 🕯️
(P**n: sow-inn)

The veil between worlds is thin… 🕸️

Long before Halloween pranced onto our porches in plastic fangs, the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain marked midnight - literally and figuratively - in the wheel of the year.

For early Celts, Samhain was New Year’s: a liminal moment when the ordinary laws of time and space took the night off, so that our ancestors might come calling. They were of course, very welcome indeed.

Across cultures, the living remember, and the departed draw near. But rather than fear the dark, these festivities call us to lean into the void, and to welcome remembrance into the home. 💭

These sacred days are honoured the world over, across continents and centuries. All Saints Day honours everyone who’s crossed over (yes, canonised saints, but all those miraculous humans so deeply missed back here on Earth).

And in Mexico, Día de los Mu***os spins the story with joy, acknowledging that memory matters more than mourning. Worlds blend in these luminous hours; and people are both hosts and guests, honouring love that long outlives flesh and bone. 🪦

In a culture such as ours where mourning our dead has become limited to Facebook posts, Instagram stories and WhatsApp groups… We could all use an invitation to collectively remember, to share stories and transform the isolation of grief into a healthy, collective reminiscence.

There’s wisdom, warmth, and invitation to connect in every tradition that openly celebrates the cosmic family reunion. 💫

We hope these rituals from around the world will inspire some alternative ways to mark these liminal days of the year.

Who are you called to remember this Samhain tide? 🍄♥️

Seasonal shifts, societal pressures, the juggle that is life - can all leave even the hardiest of us running on fumes.

The Burn Out Bundle was curated to bring a gentle, natural support to your schedule when life is running at full tilt.

You can grab yours via our link in bio 🫶🏼

When our team our flagging, or our customers reach out with symptoms of exhaustion and deflation, we recommend our Burn Out Bundle. 🫶🏼

Each tincture has been chosen for its synergistic support during times of burnout and emotional fatigue:

🍄 Chaga for immunity -
Chaga stimulates white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off harmful bacteria or viruses. As a result, Chaga can help fight infections — from minor colds to serious illnesses.

🍄 Reishi for Nervous System support -
As a superior adaptogen, Reishi may also be able to modify our response to stress - helping to calm the mind, relieve anxiety, and promote sleep.

🍄 Lion’s Mane for cognitive help -
Compounds within Lion’s Mane fruiting body stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis to support brain health and studies show it can enhance memory, focus, and cognitive speed

🍄 Cordyceps for energy -
Cordyceps may help increase the body’s production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for delivering energy to the muscles.

But when it all boils down to it...

We weren’t designed for “grind culture”, doomscrolling at midnight, 5AM clubs, caffeine overdoses, self-help overload and mass media messages thrown in our faces 24/7.

Our ancestors were berry-picking nomads, with no more possessions than they could carry.

We can’t avoid the beast that is society but we can be kind to ourselves (and each other!).

But most of all - rest when you can, reach out when you need to, and remember that nature is the greatest listener of all. 🍄

Have you got some local superstitious lore?

The relationship between fae-folk and fungi is uncanny 🧚🏼

There’s something undeniably otherworldly about mushrooms ~ their sudden appearance overnight, their strange shapes and colors, and their ability to thrive in the shadowy, often hidden places.

Still so much of their existence we cannot really explain, and somewhat due to this they create an air of the unknown... enchanting, alluring, and occasionally dangerous.

This shared blend of magic, mystery, and potential threat is why fungi have become such fitting symbols for the fairy world. 🍄

Have you ever stepped inside a fairy ring?

The Growing Up Project Is Growing Up!

Having taken root from humble beginnings with many small hands at work, for the past 2 years, Founder, Tom Baxter, has welcomed children from 9 months to 19 years into the organic farm just outside Bristol. With a fe**sh for fungi, this year The Growing Up Project is being reborn as The Bristol Fungarium, focusing on the finest quality, organic certified UK bred exotic mushrooms and handling the whole process from spores to sterile lab work, liquid mycelium cultivation and finally the fruiting blocks - with the help of Henry Jephson - lab guy, mushroom farmhand, and an all-round top bloke. The team is currently cropping over a ton of +12 strains of mushroom every month including maitake, shiitake, king oyster and 7 other strains of oyster mushroom, wine caps, lions mane, reishi, turkey tail, and cordyceps; and are soon to be launching the first UK grown organic certified range of medicinal mushroom powders and capsules as well as an innovative reishi coffee range, in partnership with a Bristol Roaster. True to name, The Bristol Fungarium will also be working on an initiative with the Fungarium at Kew (the preeminent mycological research institute in the UK) starting field trials for the first commercial production of puffballs and parasol mushrooms in the world.
