SHE’s BACK! Fungi of Aotearoa is back in stock. Head to your local bookshop or go online below to grab a copy if you missed out before 🍄✨

This review from Catherine Woulfe in NZ Geographic will give ya a sense of what’s inside…

“EARTH TONGUE. WAXGILLS. Velvet shank. Slippery jacks. Milkcaps. This new field guide is packed with gorgeous macro photography (by Paula Vigus), but what really got me were the words. The names of these things skip and ooze. They’re like found poetry. Here’s a few more: Shaggy parasol. Eyelash cups. Turkey tail. Orange ping pong bat!

Liv Sisson clearly loves words, too—she has a nimble style, and a knack for squelching important information (like how not to eat a death cap) into clear, lively sentences.

She begins the book with a story about being “struck by lichening” during a tramp on Rakiura. Other small anecdotes are scattered through the opening chapters—perky primers on New Zealand’s “charismatic, delicious, shocking and useful” fungi and the joys and dangers of hunting for them.

The field guide section is practical and packed with good big pictures, as you’d expect, but what’s unusual is that even here, the text trips along nicely. Honey mushrooms “grow in cuddly clusters”. Cup fungi “look like spa baths for ants”. This is a book I wish our family had had during lockdown, when fungi-hunts were a daily sanity saver. It now lives in the front pocket of the bag we take on bushwalks.” - Catherine Woulfe, NZ Geographic

Thank to @cayceamber.sfor these lush images of the book, to @gapt.it_photography for the stunning photos inside the book and to @nzgeo for the review!

And thanks so much to all the readers and curious folk who have already got a copy and passed on their delight for this topic and this pukapuka! 🥹💖

Life update from me… and a lil request for support! 🙏🍄

I’m making a go of writing full time, which is scary, but mostly exciting.

Relatedly, voting for the @whitcoulls_nz Top 100 is open until June 1!

The books that make it into this list get to sit on a special shelf in every Whitcoulls for a FULL YEAR.
Being on that shelf helps my book reach new readers which in turn helps me keep writing!

So if you loved Fungi of Aotearoa please chuck it a vote! Link for voting is in my bio, or comment and I’ll DM it to you for ease 💛✨🙏🍄

Give me your Bay of Plenty recs (plz!) what should I do? I’ve spent almost no time there and outside of 🥝 + 🥑 don’t know a whole lot about it!

Where should I eat and what should I order? What nature walks should I check out? Ofc I am keen to see small things like glow worms, mushrooms, mosses etc etc

I’m headed down for their food festival Flavours of Plenty! Excited to check it all out ☀️

Do you know what lichen actually is?!

Had the best time sharing my love of lichen with kids and parents at Te Papa whānau day last weekend! It was international slow art and slow looking day too. We gazed at lichen with high powered microscopes and hand lenses and I shared all the lichen fun fact that’ve been living rent free in my brain for about 10 years 💚💚

If you’ve got an event, a festival, a workplace or community group and need a speaker or someone to run an informative by fun workshop - give me a bell 🔔

Thanks for having me @te_papa !
