Amanita (Fly Agaric):
1. “the home of fairies and magical creatures… it helps trees by transferring nutrients into their roots” (Woodland trust).
2. The name Anita’s environmental campaigner parents nearly gave her.
3. An inspiration: I believe we can learn a lot from mushrooms whose underground mycelium form interconnected networks with the organisms around them.
Amanita can help organisations and individuals become more mushroom!
