On the Cover: Nature's Bounty

We love that our cover this
month showcases nature’s bounty, a summer harvest of an artist and friend, collected
in rural Maine this past month. Her simple masterpiece is beautifully arranged
for our viewing pleasure and invites a mental exploration into what all
the fantastic fungi can teach us. The remarkable mushroom is illuminated
further in April Thompson’s editorial piece, highlighting culinary delights and
the unique and exquisite dining experiences that local forests can provide. We
are delighted to share with you the simple wisdom inherent in the mushroom’s
ability to heal and nourish.
