Reviews
—Robert Dale Rogers, author of The Fungal Pharmacy
"The Mycelial Healer deserves a spot on every mushroom enthusiast’s bookshelf. Chris and Katherine Parker set the stage for a fresh look at mushrooms as food and medicine. Their detailed, practical descriptions of how to set up a lab, grow mushrooms outdoors or indoors, and ethically wild-harvest are supported by dozens of photos and diagrams."
—Jeanine Davis, North Carolina State University professor, author of Growing and Marketing Ginseng, Goldenseal and Other Woodland Medicinals
“The Mycelial Healer is a profound journey into the fungal world—blending Indigenous wisdom, hands-on cultivation, and scientific insight. Parker and Parker invite us to reconnect with the unseen networks that sustain life. As an edible landscape enthusiast, I find this book an outstanding resource for optimizing all that shady space—transforming understory into abundance. More than just a guide for growers, it's also a profound meditation on the idea that true restoration and reconnection with the natural world begin beneath our feet, radiating outward from the soil.”
