It's been a non-stop month so far, but we are still glowing from the Fungi Extravaganza. A huge thank you to all the vendors, artists, collaborators, and everyone who came out to rage with us. We celebrated not only fungi and other psychedelics but the community and fall harvest. We have reaped what we sowed and braced ourselves for the coming winter months. We can't wait until next year! Until then my fungi allys!

Such a great day with such amazing people! We all had a creative and fun time exploring fungi for natural dyes. Everyone's silk scarf (dyed with Phaeolus schweinitzii) came out absolutely beautiful and each one was individually unique, as are we all!
Thank you to all who came out, looking forward to more fungi workshops this year!

I love this city. Detroit is such a special place that I've come to hold dear to my heart since I was a child. Such spirit, such soul, such hope and determination despite all the setbacks, deterioration and broken dreams.
We rise out of the ashes to be born again!
Here's to Detroit and to those that never gave up on it.
To quote the Detroit flag: “Speramus Meliora Resurget Cineribus"
("We hope for better things. It will rise from the ashes")
There's a balance between taming the wild and letting it grow.
Holy Laetiporus!!!! That drip says it allllll 🤤
Behold the Mock Laetiporus Lobster Roll
Of course added jalapeños
The sky isn't falling but the black walnuts are!
These wild nuts contain the most protein out of any tree nut and their aroma is grand !
When the rain gods fuel the wine cap beds we harvest and make special deliveries to our Poletown neighbors.

There must be some voodoo magic behind turning a thought idea into concrete reality. At least that's how it starts to feel.

We aren't just an ordinary mushroom farm because our mushrooms have a mission. With time, Fungi Freights hopes to equip freight containers with the necessities to grow mushrooms and ship them to areas of the world affected by food scarcity. The mushrooms can be grown sustain-ably by its destinations main agricultural waste. By providing the structure, equipment and basic knowledge on mushroom cultivation, individuals can successfully grow mushrooms for their community.
