We don’t often think of mushrooms as a symbol of winter, but I recently learned that fungi have a strong underground system that produces its own antifreeze to keep the organism alive in the cold.
In other words, even though the fruiting bodies, or what we tend to think of as mushrooms, die off, the fungi are still alive and flourishing underground. To honor their resilience and let the mushrooms know that we haven’t forgotten about them, even while they’re hiding, we decided to celebrate “Fungi February.”
Funky Fun…
