Welcome to Atlas Alchemist
Our Story
Atlas Alchemist is a project born out of a love for both the natural world and the stories we tell about it.
Using tools from ecology, GIS, and remote sensing, We help people find and learn about wild plants and mushrooms including how they fit into the ecosystems around us and the cultures that have long known their names.
Each species becomes part of a growing “quest log”, blending identification tips, ecology, folklore, and stories. Some come from old traditions, others from fantasy - all aimed at helping people see nature a little differently.
Whether you’re a forager, a nature nerd, or just someone looking to connect more deeply with the land, this is a space to explore the wild in a way that’s full of wonder.

The Faces and Paws of Our Team
Kyle
Environmental scientist and naturalist
Kyle is an environmental scientist and naturalist who blends ecological modeling with storytelling to help others explore and connect with the natural world. Specializing in geospatial analysis, his work focuses on uncovering patterns in plant and fungi ecology.
Kyle creates interactive maps and species profiles that weave together field knowledge, folklore, and ecological insight. His work is deeply informed by a lifelong love of biodiversity, folklore, and the rich imaginative worlds of Tolkien, all of which inspire him to see the forest not just as a landscape, but as a living story.
When he's not building models or tinkering with data, you'll find him on forest trails, flipping over logs, identifying plants, or just listening to the woods.
