This is where we put the longer conversations - the things that don’t fit neatly onto a product page or into a quick post. It’s a space for context, clarity, and slow explanations around the plants, fungi, food and ideas we work with, as well as occasional updates from behind the scenes at KindRoots.
You’ll find pieces here that dig into questions people are genuinely asking: how certain mushrooms are used, why regulations change, where confusion creeps in, and how traditional practice, modern research and everyday use actually intersect. Some posts are practical, some are reflective, and some exist simply to clear the air when misinformation starts doing the rounds.
Nothing here is written to chase trends or push urgency. We write when something feels worth explaining properly, in plain language, and from lived experience rather than marketing copy. If you’re looking to understand why we do things the way we do, or you’ve landed here with a specific question - this is usually where the longer answers live.
