Introducing Aspen, our mushroom-loving forest friend.
Welcome to Aspen’s Corner, where we explore the connection between mushrooms and our woods and forests.
Leading the charge is Aspen, our Woodie friend.
Think of him as our mascot. Everything about that cute face of his expresses a deep connection to the woods, forests, mushrooms, and fungi.
And as you know, the health of our trees, mushrooms and fungi are all closely intertwined.
Anyone who supports planting trees and taking better care of our woods and forests gets our support too.
