A young member of our local farmworker community, Yanet Hernandez, passed away far too soon. While I didn't know Yanet personally, I know how much our farms depend on the hard work of farmworker families, and how important it is for our community to show up for one another in times of loss.

If you're able, please consider making a donation to help her family bring Yanet home to Chiapas, Mexico, so she can be laid to rest surrounded by loved ones. If you can't donate, sharing the fundraiser is also a meaningful way to help.

Keeping Yanet's family, friends, and community in my thoughts. ❤️

As a mushroom farmer, I know how little we truly understand about the fungal kingdom. The U.S. National Fungus Collections represent more than 150 years of painstaking work documenting that diversity—but in many ways, those 150 years are only the beginning of the fungal frontier.

I believe fungi hold many of the keys to a more sustainable future. They have the potential to help us grow food more resiliently, restore ecosystems, cycle nutrients, sequester carbon, and discover new medicines. Preserving our knowledge of the fungal kingdom is essential if we're going to unlock that potential.

Today, the future of the U.S. National Fungus Collections is uncertain as the USDA reorganizes research facilities. Without a clear plan and adequate support, these irreplaceable collections could be dispersed, become inaccessible, or lose the staffing needed to properly preserve and curate them—a tremendous setback for mycology, agriculture, and scientific discovery.

If you believe this work is worth protecting, I hope you'll take a moment to sign and share this petition. The future of fungi—and what they can teach us—is still being written.
