About Me
The Face Behind Yellow Elanor
I hail from the enchanting landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where my childhood was steeped in outdoor adventures. However, it wasn’t until adulthood, amidst a rainy fall hike, that I truly discovered the magic of mushrooms. A chance encounter with a Chanterelle opened my eyes to the vibrant world that had thrived beneath my feet unnoticed for years. From that moment, I was captivated, and my journey into the realm of mycology began.
