Allegra Hyde
b'
Allegra Hyde talks to Jordan about the peripatetic experience she had trying to find herself in utopian communities after college -- and a transformative near-miss with a mushroom that led her to where she is now.
MENTIONED:
- Alice\'s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
- the Rainbow Valley Community in New Zealand
- Brook Farm
- Important Saftey Tip: never eat a raw mushroom or one you haven\'t safely identified as non-poisonous. We recommend this handy NYT guide on "How to Forage Mushrooms" as a place to start for the aspiring forager.

A recipient of three Pushcart Prizes, Hyde\'s writing has also been anthologized in Best American Travel Writing, Best Women\\u2019s Travel Writing, Best of the Net, and Best Small Fictions.
