"I work with youth and adults facilitating a deep connection to the natural world, and what emerges from that is deep connections between people, and a deep connection to self."
"When we go about tracking animals, it's a multi-sensory and multi-disciplinary experience that connects us archetypically to this really old part of ourselves."
-- Tim Corcoran on Greenhorn Radio

This week on Why We Cook ChefSmartyPants recounts her adventures joining a mycology club: hitting the forests, foraging an armful of fungus, then going at it with microscopes, magnifying glasses, Mycology tomes, and other research tools. Chef Erica eventually becomes frustrated at the pace of the mycologist's crew, ponders a potential dabble in hunting, and finally finds a giant delicious mushroom on a stroll through the wilderness.
