"Learning the anatomy of the mushroom taught by Anne-Marie Bilella in her Wild Herbal Immersion class enlightened me to the many different types of mushrooms. I was amazed by the communication pathways, mycelium that covers and communicates between trees, grass, mushrooms etc. Also learning about the medicinal and nutritional benefits are fascinating."

"Hi my name is Leah and I started getting into homesteading and also learning even more about herbs about 4 years ago now. I met Anne-Marie back in 2022 I believe, and she awoke in me the spark that I had had when I was a young girl to learn more about plants and herbs. She is such an inspiration to me every time I see a post of hers or a story. It makes me want to do better with my health and also to learn so much more! I thank God for allowing me to meet such a sweet lady." 🤗
