Poll Of The Month : What Species Of Plant (or Fungi) Would You Like Me To Write An Article About?

June, 2024's poll in the Mirrors For The Mind, Heart and Soul series

As I contemplate what my dream food forest would look like and seek to learn more about species of plants and fungi that I think would stack a great many functions I realized that is a very limiting way of going about writing the articles which will become the backbone of my next book, as there are inevitably many medicine and food plants and/or fungi that I know nothing (to very little about).

Thus, I present the following poll to all of you in the hopes we can pool our collective brain cells and life experiences to hopefully enrich my next book in ways I could not do alone and embark upon a series of journeys to learn more about the untapped potential of regenerative agroforestry and food forest design together.

I will make some suggestions of my own and then invite all of you to share your own suggestions for species (which would be appropriate for enriching a temperate food forest design) in the comments section, after one week I will edit this post to include all the suggested species in the comments section in an additional poll and then at the end of the month what ever three species have the top numbers of votes will become the focus of an in-depth article as part of my Stacking Functions in the Garden, Food Forest and Medicine Cabinet : The Regenerative Way From Seed To Apothecary series in the future.
