Every forest has a weird corner. This is ours. Not everything in the fungi kingdom belongs in your coffee, and these two aren't about anything we sell. Just good stuff for the curious.
For culture and curiosity only. We don't sell psychedelic or Amanita mushrooms, and nothing here is advice. Never eat a wild mushroom you can't identify with certainty.
