The Last of Us aside, we all know that fungi are awesome and super beneficial to the earth. Learn more about them with an autographed copy of this incredible book, The Lichen Museum (Art After Nature), by Crossroads Fund supporter Laurie Palmer. 

Lichens are composite organisms made up of a fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria thriving in a mutually beneficial relationship. The Lichen Museum looks to these complex organisms, remarkable for their symbiosis, diversity, longevity, and adaptability, as models for relations rooted in collaboration and nonhierarchical structures. In their resistance to fast-paced growth and commodification, lichens also offer possibilities for humans to reconfigure their relationship to time and attention outside of the accelerated pace of capitalist accumulation. 

If you think it sounds amazing, you are absolutely right! Crossroads Fund's own Kristina Roque has not been able to stop talking about this book since reading it. 

You also get a fun fungi bumper sticker from Just Seeds and a super cute mushroom themed embroidery by Katie Madden of Crossroads Fund (pattern is by StardropCraftsCo).

See...fungi aren't scary at all (wait..what's that clicking sound...)
