Farmer-artists Agathe Snow and Anthony Holbrooke talk about learning to grow mushrooms on their farm Mattituck Mushrooms, why they believe mushrooms can help feed the world and how they have integrated mushrooms into their art. (WPKN, January 3, 2024)
Born to German Jewish refugee physicians in Lahore (now Pakistan, then British India) Hazel has lived, studied and worked in many places–India, England, Australia, Israel and the United States. She makes her home in the woods of the eastern end of Long Island, New York where she produces the art of leafages, the radio sounds of Tidings and writes about growing up Jewish in Lahore. Read more about Hazel…
Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.

This was FANTASTIC. I would love to put together a Google slide show that schools could use with their efforts in science. I never took mycology in college, but a professor that taught it invited the grad students for a meal consisting of only fungi. There was truly a “fungus amongus”. You amaze me with the talent that you interview. Thank you so much. rj♿👎
Thank you, Bob. Great to hear from you and if you want to talk about doing a science show for schools that you think I could contribute to, let me know. I plan to be in touch with you in any case.
