What is your current special interest? Mine is Saxon/Norman archaeology (specifically stone circles), and Legend of Zelda, specifically Linked Universe AU.)

hi!!! thanks for asking this question! my current special interests are mycology (i just finished reading In Search of Mycotopia by Doug Bierend, highly recommend if you like mushrooms/fungi) and a podcast called Ologies hosted by Alie Ward! each episodes highlights a science (or “ology”) and features a scientist from that field to talk about it!!! it’s really cool and everything 10 year old me could ask for as i spent countless afternoons after school combing the internet for hyper-specific “ologies” to learn about.

saxon/norman archaeology sounds dope. i took an archaeology class in college once and really liked it! and one day i will finally play a legend of zelda game!!!! i have breath of the wild on my switch but have yet to play it 😬 one day.

Not My Review: The Way Through the Woods by Long Litt Woon and In Search of Mycotopia by Doug Bierend

Not My Review: The Way Through the Woods by Long Litt Woon and In Search of Mycotopia by Doug Bierend

[queerpyracy]

Behold the (mostly) hidden kingdom of life. Its members number approximately 2.2 to 3.8 million species, the vast majority of which have not yet been described or named. Some are invisible, buried under the earth and inside rotting trees. Some grow above ground. Others appear and disappear. Some taste great; others can kill you.

Despite their mysterious nature, fungi—a category that includes molds, mushrooms, yeasts, lichens, mycorrhiza, and mildews—are essential to human life and play crucial ecological functions. They have also been shown to help people solve a wide range of problems, from oil spills to clinical depression to food insecurity. Yet they are vastly understudied and misunderstood.

Journalist Doug Bierend spent five years exploring fungi and the emerging subcultures that have formed around them for his new book, In Search of Mycotopia: Citizen Science, Fungi Fanatics, and the Untapped Potential of Mushrooms.

Civil Eats spoke with Bierend about fungi’s under-recognized status, their role as a catalyst in emergent social movements, and what it takes to grow and forage for mushrooms while furthering the ideas they inspire.

Step by step instructions to Find Psychedelic Mushrooms

Psilocybin mushrooms are an untouched psychonaut top choice, and which is all well and good. They have a place with a class of hallucinogenics called entheogens — this word was instituted to depict their gigantically otherworldly properties and reason, and can be meant something along the lines of "showing eternality."

There is proof to recommend that hallucinogenic mushrooms have been utilized ceremonially by Aztecs, Mayas, and other antiquated Mesoamerican societies , and maybe a huge number of years before that by native Saharan clans in North Africa. As per Terence McKenna, psilocybin may really be answerable for the improvement of our inventiveness a huge number of years prior.

Regardless, people have been associating with the awesome by means of enchantment mushrooms for quite a while, and this convention has carried on into the cutting edge age. Be that as it may, in this advanced age, ownership and utilization of shrooms is prohibited by law in the majority of the world. The inquiry presents itself — how and where to discover enchantment mushrooms? Right away, underneath are a couple of the most open approaches to source them.

Pick them yourself

Finding hallucinogenic mushrooms probably won't be as dubious as you'd might suspect. The primary spot where you ought to consider searching for them is presumably the most clear one — your own lawn.

Psilocybin mushrooms are bountiful in nature. On the off chance that you live in the perfect spot, you can get very fortunate during their fruiting season. In any case, you should be genuinely familiar with the various strains that develop in your general vicinity. Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes, just as in different degrees of harmfulness. Some can cause mellow harming, while others can be very lethal. On occasion, the distinctions in their appearance are minute, however you should be certain that what you're picking won't be the finish of you.

The main component all growths requirement for developing is dampness. Dry air and wind can without much of a stretch execute them. They likewise require a specific temperature, which is explicit for every species, and ripe soil loaded with supplements, for example, sugar, starch, lignin, fats, protein, and nitrogen. On the off chance that there is a perfect measure of supplements in tree rind, fallen leaves, manure, mulch, or fertilizer, you will discover mushrooms joyfully growing on a superficial level. They don't really require a dull domain, however the nonappearance of light enables the air to hold its dampness. This is the reason thickly forested territories near large waterways as a rule give appropriate conditions, so it's a decent spot to begin searching for them. Creature compost (particularly cow manure) is about as nutritious a developing situation as it gets — if the stickiness is correct, it's profoundly plausible to spot them developing from it.

You can discover hallucinogenic mushrooms normally all through North America, particularly on the West Coast, in the upper east of the mainland, and around the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico itself and a large portion of Central America are overflowing with them, as are some South American nations, for example, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina. Hawaii is by all accounts a heaven not only for occasions — some world-class strains originate from these old islands. Different areas plentiful with shrooms are South Africa, the east shoreline of Australia, South India, the Philippines, and practically the entire beach front district of Southeast Asia. Gracious, and you can discover shrooms developing all over Europe, as well.

Thus, in the event that you are groping for some scrounging, chances are that there are new enchantment shrooms developing some place close by. In any case, again — make a point to turn out to be incredibly acquainted with all the sorts of mushrooms developing in your general vicinity, their impact and appearance. Here is an important asset for distinguishing the trippy ones and here is an exhaustive rundown of the considerable number of types of psilocybin shrooms you can discover in nations around the globe and states around the USA. Mycotopia is additionally an extraordinary online network where you can talk with individual shroomheads about anything you may be interested or worried about.

The Fool is The Spore

 Here is the Fool. Joyful. Gem-eyed. Striding forth. Young. In the original Italian decks, he was most often called Le Mat/Il Matto which means the Madman, indicating that his enthusiasm exists outside patriarchy. It is the wild laughter of the Green Man whose home is in the woods, whose feral presence calls our own hygienic, house-bounded ruts into question. He is typically illustrated as a minstrel or vagabond, and is barefoot in some of the earliest versions of the card. Animals follow after him, nipping at his legs. And he is in the process of leaping from solid ground. The Fool is always on the precipice. His most dominant trait to me is kineticism. His head is raised, his arm outstretched. And he is stepping into the void, straddling air and land, the solidity of the known and the unknown. Will his secret parachute bloom? Will he grow wings? Or is the drop below into soft moss? Where will he land? Into the Tarot itself, into the shape and pace of a fresh journey. As the Zero, the first and unnumbered card of the Tarot, the Fool stands outside of linear time. Some have posited that the Fool is the whole deck, an image of pleroma, the zero acting less as a nullity and more as an embrace for the other 77 cards.  In my attempt to “root” the Tarot in ecology, I always think of the Fool as a spore. Mushrooms reproduce through the release of spores, scintillas of dust mostly invisible to the human eye. When the right alchemical blend of temperature, water, and nutritional matrix is available, the spores germinate and begin to probe outwards with hyphae, inquisitive single-celled threads. Mycologist David Arora estimates that some fungi can liberate up to 30 billion spores a day, amounting to an output of over 5 trillion a year. Mushrooms can release spores with enough force that they can land many inches away from their origin. It has been estimated that the force with which mushrooms eject spores is 25,000 g’s, or 10,000 times the force undergone by astronauts as they exit the gravitational pull of Earth’s orbit. Spores also float on the air currents, sometimes, inconceivably, traveling hundreds of miles to other ecosystems. They hitch a ride in the fur of animals and the hair of human beings. They nestle into the guts of owls, the feathers of birds, that fly from forest to forest, scattering these genetic kernels into the moist undergrowth. Insects carry spore covered material back to their hives and colonies.   These germinating spores fuse hyphae to form an initial “dikaryon”, vibrating with multiple outcomes: mycelial mats form dense interconnected hyphae, mycorrhizal fungi can spread across a forest, acting like a nourishing lace of starlight between plants and trees. Saprophytic fungi lands in refuse and begins to liberate minerals and nutrients, creating a layer of fertile soil. And of course, invisible spores can perform that magic trick of matter, producing something huge and obvious out of an “empty hat”: obvious, often edible, mushrooms. The spore is a zero of possibility, a pleroma of genetic ingenuity and life force, something Robin Wall Kimmerer explains is called Puhpowee by the Potawatomi nation to describe the energy with which mushrooms emerge overnight and the unseen energies that animate everything. If the Fool represents anything to me it is Puhpowee. Happiness is an act of bravery. To tell a new story, we must jump off the cliff of an old one. The Fool shows me that I’m not wedded to one option. I can practice multiplicity, and ride each of the 30 billion spores to a different narrative, a different possible future. The Fool is the glitter bomb of spores from a mushroom that is wildly, devotedly, betting on the world’s ability to provide a womb, a home, an embrace for fungal offspring.  Further References: Mycelium Running by Paul Stamets, Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake, In Search of Mycotopia by Doug Bierend.
