We chat about climate collapse as depicted in Comet in Moominland, and the different characters' attitudes to it. We also chat about the different mushrooms Little My picks in The Invisible Child, and how one might go about identifying and preparing them for eating. Mendel is wonderfully enthusiastic about free food growing all around is and recommends the Falling Fruit maps to find foraging opportunities near you. Nina has added the fig trees she mentioned in Ouseburn, if you're a local!

Be sure to check out our instagram to see Mendel and their partner's Snufkin and Little My cosplays.

Mendel recommends Bee and PuppyCat and Butt Out Baby, Their podcast is Future Ecologies, it is beautiful and thoughtful.
