We would like to extend both our gratitude and apologies to everyone who submitted to the mycology anthology. With nearly 800 poems to go through, it has taken longer than originally anticipated to select poems and respond to emails, especially while navigating our first full year of book series.

We have already started responding to submissions and plan to go through the rest by the end of the week. Thank you endlessly for your patience. We can’t wait to share these incredible mycology poems with the world!
