The mushroom boom is here

Shiitake. Reishi. Lion’s Mane. Psilocybin. All of a sudden cremini seems so basic. From adaptogenic mushrooms to magical ones, how can you not be in awe of the fungus that’s been around since the dawn of time, has medicinal powers, and multiplies in decaying environments? Mushrooms represent rebirth, recycling, and transformation during times of darkness and stillness.

A favorite in fantasy worlds where fairies and mythical creatures abound, you may recognize the red and white spotted toadstool, a symbol of good luck. If the mind-blowing documentary Fantastic Funghi doesn’t convince you that mushrooms have super powers, maybe one of these lucky mushroom jewels will.

Brent Neale Winston has a special place in her heart for mushrooms—go down the rabbit hole of her Instagram feed to see for yourself. She loves them so much that she just launched a Zodiac mushroom collection in varying stones and colors. Irresistible.
