Ok so I was slow getting to upload the August Herbal Open Forum. We talked a bunch about where energetics comes from and the idea of directional herbs.

Hey folks! We've been seeing news of a family in UK who was sickened by mushrooms and hospitalized. The source of foraging information they were using was an A I generated foraging guide bought on Amazon. Please, please, please, if you want to forage make sure you know the mushroom or plant before using it! Please, verify authors of books before buying them as well! Find some people who specialize in mycology or foraging and follow them. Be safe y'all! Happy Saturday!
