We live out of balance with the Earth. The circle of renewal has been broken. The mushroom, with its healing properties, is the great recycler of nature – breaking down dead matter, turning it to soil. Coupled with its circular mandala-like shape, the mushroom is a perfect metaphor and reminder that, without renewal, our soils will not support the biodiversity of life – leading to our own demise.
