Hello everyone, it's been a while!

I'm feeling very grateful to share that I’ve been invited as a speaker at the Moorabool Mushroom Festival 2026 🍄💕

I'll be holding one workshop on learning to grow your own mushrooms and one circle chat on "Fungi, Revolution, and Social Change: What Mycelium Can Teach Us" which I'm super excited about!

I’ll be joining a beautiful line-up of humans to share stories and learning around fungi, community, cultivation, and the deep ecological wisdom that mushrooms offer us when we slow down and listen.

Huge thanks to MYCOmmunity Applied Mycology for the invitation and for the generous words they shared about my work with South Spore. It means a lot to be welcomed into spaces that nourish what I value: hands-on learning, accessibility, and connection to land and each other.

If you’re anywhere near Victoria and love mushrooms, soil, systems, or community, this festival is one to mark in your calendar.

Hey beautiful people 🌿

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything, and a few of you have been asking what’s been going on… So here’s a little video of me finally out again, the first time in a long time.

Truth is, I haven’t been active in my business. I’ve been juggling way too many jobs, and honestly, the weight of the world lately has been getting to me. The grief, the anger, the sadness… it’s a lot. Some mornings I wake up and wonder how I’m supposed to just rock up to work like everything’s okay.

I’m still here, just moving a little slower. Trying to figure out how to make space for all of it, the beauty, the chaos, the quiet, and the overwhelm.

Thanks for being patient with me 💚
Mush love,
Feresh 🍄

When an artist truly sees you,
it’s not just art, it’s soul, translated.

Thank you

To all my friends with young daughters…
I wrote this story for my own little girl, and something in it lit up her whole face. She wanted to share it, so now, it’s yours too.

It’s not a rulebook.
It’s a remembering,
of something we’ve forgotten.
A connection we left behind with our ancestors.
A whisper of wildness.
A quiet call back to the sacred feminine,
the kind that grows in gardens, roars in rivers, and lives quietly inside brave little girls.

Only after reading it aloud did I realise…
this was exactly what I needed when I was eight.

If you have a daughter, niece, student, or your own inner child, this book is for her.

For the ones who already feel it.
For the ones just beginning to.

The PDF is now available:
There are two links in my bio:
One for USD buyers
One for AUD buyers

Printed copies on their way soon

With mush 🍄 love 💕 and fierce softness,
Feresh
