Mushrooms and More
Atlanta Tours
About your Guide:
Josh Wayne began his foraging journey 13 years ago, hoping to find edible, medicinal, and sacred mushrooms. Josh learned how to forage with the help of many knowledgeable mentors in the Atlanta (Pine Lake Eco Arts) and Athens (Wild Intelligence) area as he worked to deepen his connection with the plants and animals that inhabit the Georgia Piedmont. As an Atlanta native, he has foraged, prepared, and consumed over 100 species of mushrooms and an additional 150 species of plants from the Southeast. Josh serves as a World-bridger and Lead Sacrament Forager for Whole Inc. and works to connect both members and nonmembers to our plant, mushroom, and animal ancestors. If you want to learn about the mushrooms and plants here to nourish you, hike with Josh.
At Whole, we believe that each person needs to be able to connect fully with all life that grows “of itself so” in our backyards, neighborhoods, and state. Atlanta and the surrounding areas hold so much beauty and information that allows us to connect with the divine within. From Psilocybin mushrooms to Chanterelles, from the Oak tree to the Hickory tree, all plants and mushrooms are sacred and necessary for us to truly connect with the Divine. By joining us on this educational foray, you will feel a deeper connection with yourself, your environment, and the community.
