The Fungal Codex: A Grimoire of Spores and Rot


Beneath the soil, threads stretch unseen. From rot, fruit rises. From shadow, spores drift into the air.

My newest book, The Fungal Codex, is a grimoire of mushrooms, lichens, and decay. It follows the fungal cycle through eight archetypes: Hyphae, Mycelium, Fruiting Bodies, Caps, Rot, Lichens, Poison, and Psychedelia. Each chapter contains practical spells, charms, and rites — from bindings and baneful works to wards, glamours, and dream-travel.

Every working closes with a Spore Print Sigil, simple circular marks inspired by the prints mushrooms leave on paper. These sigils act as seals, patterns of drift and spread. You can copy them by hand, draw them in ash, or trace them in soil.

This book is written to be usable. The materials are simple: bread, thread, market mushrooms, scraps of paper. The power lies not in rare herbs but in symbol, patience, and transformation.

If you’ve followed my previous works — The Saltwater Testament, The Clockwork Grimoire, Goldroot, Lantern Codex — you’ll find this one sits differently. The Fungal Codex is damp, earthy, shadowed. It is about beginnings and endings, decay and renewal, warning and vision.

Step softly. Work slowly. Trust the threads.
The spores are already drifting.
