Black Mycelium is an emerging formation of Black Queer, Transgender, Non-binary, and Gender Nonconforming people who are farmers, agrarians, organizers, siblings, healers, medicine makers, equestrians, educators, growers, visionaries, aunties, musicians, seed savers, storytellers, and so much more.

Our folk are based in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and Washington. As expansive as our identities are, our possibilities together are as well.

We are nurturing the growth of a network of Southern Black Queer interconnected land projects where skills are built and shared, relationships are nurtured and rooted in mutual support, and folks are given opportunities to dream, shed what is no longer useful, heal, love, and grow on sacred and lovingly stewarded land.

The vision is a network of Black Queer land stewards that are building safe space and sanctuary for our kin; and building climate resilient cooperative economic infrastructures throughout the US South. We have gathered around Black Mycelium as a way to support our community and collective work. We are a repository for land based wisdom. Our work, like mycelium, is often underground and unseen. This is sometimes intentional for our safety, and also indicates the fact that we are consistently and severely overworked and under-resourced.

We have gathered around the Black Mycelium Project as a way to support our community and collective work. We are to be in more loving conversation via email at blackmycelium@gmail.com.
