Wilder Herbertson spent the first part of their life on Slide Ranch, an environmental education center which uses food as the aperture through which the farm teaches ecological principals.

Wilder's passion is for sharing skills and lifestyle amendments so that we can individually and collectively re-member our place in nature. 
​
They have a specific interest in foraging mushrooms, and have been an active member of the Sonoma Mycological Association since September 2018. While foraging edible mushrooms was their doorway into the fungal kingdom, their interest quickly expanded to fungal ecological roles as a whole, dyeing fiber with mushrooms and lichens, and cloning and growing mushrooms at home.
