Author: Madison Murphy Barney

An enchanting nature-based guide to living more in deeper relationship with ourselves, our communities, and our planet by embodying the innate qualities of the wondrous mycelial world. The more we start to live like mushrooms, author Madison Murphy Barney argues, the more healthy, just, and abundant our lives can become. Unlike other mushroom-focused books, Our Ancestors Want Us to Be Mushrooms isn't a foraging guide, a scientific examination of fungi, or a glimpse into the powers of psilocybin. Rather, it is part philosophical framework and part nature-inspired reflection, weaving together the guiding attributes of mushrooms and ancestral wisdom to explore our relationship with the natural world and a call back into meaningful alignment with each other and our planet.
Through eight distinct guiding principles inspired by the traits of mushrooms, readers are invited to explore:

• Humility
• Beauty and delight
• Creativity and unique gifts
• Living in cycles and decomposition
• Protection
• Healing and nourishment
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Mystery and room for magic
  Written with warmth, spirit, and whimsy, Our Ancestors Want Us to Be Mushrooms invites readers into a more connected, meaningful relationship with nature, community, and themselves.
