Liv Sisson
Olivia ‘Liv’ Sisson is a forager and fungi enthusiast who has been enchanted by the minutiae of nature for as long as she can remember. She loves how fungi-spotting micro-adventures introduce wonder and awe into her everyday.
Liv was raised in Virginia, USA, and first learned how to spot small wonders in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She studied geology and art before moving to Otautahi Christchurch. There, she worked for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and led foraging tours in addition to her work as a writer.
Her writing has appeared in The Spinoff, Cuisine, and Stuff, and she has featured on RNZ. Liv has spent countless hours exploring Aotearoa with a curious eye for the flora, fauna, and fungi that define this special place.
She now lives in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, and her book Fungi of Aotearoa - A Curious Forager’s Field Guide is a New Zealand bestseller.
