Learning the Language of Mushrooms

An invitation to Episode 6 of Don’t Trip on Your Cape

I get asked a lot of questions about mushrooms. How I grow them. What the differences are between species. Why they feel so distinct from one another. How I learned to work with them the way I do.

Episode 6 of Don’t Trip on Your Cape is my way of answering those questions in a fuller, more honest way.

In this conversation, Leslie and I spend real time with the topic. I share more deeply than I ever have about my relationship with mushrooms, including longer descriptions of all three species I work with, how each one feels different to me, and what those differences have taught me over time. Leslie holds the space with curiosity and presence, asking the kinds of questions that let the story unfold instead of rushing it.

I talk about how I learned to grow mushrooms, not just technically, but relationally. The trial and error, the patience, the moments of slowing down enough to listen. Somewhere along the way, it became clear this was never just about cultivation. It was about relationship. About learning how to care for something living and responding with respect instead of control.

We also touch on something people are often curious about but don’t always know how to name. Mushrooms communicate with me. Not in a way that needs to be explained or justified, but in a way that has shaped how I grow them, how I handle them, and how I understand their role in my life. Love and intention aren’t abstract concepts here. They are practical parts of the process.

If you’re someone who wants to understand mushrooms beyond the surface, why different species feel different, or why the way they’re grown truly matters, this episode was made for you.

And if you find yourself especially curious about Leslie’s lens, how she experiences mushrooms, or how this work intersects with Human Design, you may also enjoy Episode 4, where we explore Mushrooms and Human Design together in a very different but complementary way.

Episode 6 isn’t a how-to guide, and it isn’t about chasing an experience. It’s an invitation into care, reverence, and listening to something ancient and alive.

If you’ve been asking questions, this is me answering them in the way that feels most true to me. By sharing the relationship, the conversation, and the love at the heart of it all.
