Dhattura (Jimsonweed),magical and other properties

The flowers of sacred Datura open near dusk and close again by midmorning. The large, fragrant white flowers attract night-flying pollinators, but even during the day a variety of insects can be seen in the flowers.

All parts of Datura plants contain dangerous levels of the tropane alkaloids atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine, all of which are classified as deliriants, or anticholinergics.

Datura intoxication typically produces delirium, hallucination, hyperthermia, tachycardia, bizarre behavior, urinary retention, and severe mydriasis, with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days.

Across the Americas, indigenous peoples, such as the Algonquian, Aztecs, Navajo, Cherokee, Luiseño and the indigenous peoples of Marie-Galante used this plant or other Datura species in sacred ceremonies for its hallucinogenic properties.

The common name "datura" has its origins in India, where the sister species Datura metel is considered particularly sacred – believed to be a favorite of Shiva in Shaivism.

The plant is harvested when the fruits are ripe, but still green. To harvest, the entire plant is cut down, the leaves are stripped from the plant, and everything is left to dry. When the fruits begin to burst open, the seeds are harvested.

 It was often responsible for the hallucinogenic effects of magical or lycanthropic salves and potions. During the witch-phobia craze in Early Modern times in England and parts of the colonial Northeastern United States, it was often considered unlucky or inappropriate to grow the plant in one's garden, as it was considered to be an aid to incantations.

Leaves of the plant are used for banishing ,breaking spells, dream magic and dedication rituals.

Dancing Tiger Mushrooms Buy Dancing Tiger Mushrooms near me

Dancing Tiger Mushrooms. With their vibrant colours and captivating appearance, these mushrooms are not just a feast for the eyes but also a topic of great interest among mycologists and nature lovers alike. In this blog post, we’ll explore what makes Dancing Tiger Mushrooms so special and why they deserve a place in your forest foraging adventures!

What Are Dancing Tiger Mushrooms?

Dancing Tiger Mushrooms, scientifically known as Lactarius tigrinus, are a type of fungi belonging to the Lactariaceae family. Known for their striking orange and black markings that resemble the stripes of a tiger, these mushrooms often grow in clusters, creating a stunning visual display on the forest floor. They typically thrive in temperate regions, particularly in woodland and forest settings, where they form a symbiotic relationship with trees, particularly conifers.

A Feast for the Eyes and the Palate?

While their beauty is undeniable, it’s essential to approach Dancing Tiger Mushrooms with caution. Many species of mushrooms are toxic, and unfortunately, Lactarius tigrinus can fall into that category. They are not widely regarded as edible due to their slightly bitter taste and potential for gastrointestinal distress if consumed. However, some experienced foragers often admire them purely for their aesthetic appeal and ecological role rather than as a food source.

Ecological Importance

Dancing Tiger Mushrooms play a significant role in their ecosystem. Like many mushrooms, they contribute to nutrient cycling in their environments, breaking down organic matter and returning nutrients to the soil. Their presence indicates a healthy forest ecosystem, as they help connect trees and enhance their nutrient uptake through a network of mycelium.

Conclusion

Whether you’re a mushroom aficionado, a curious nature lover, or an aspiring forager, Dancing Tiger Mushrooms are a fascinating subject worthy of admiration. While they may not be the most practical choice for your dinner plate, their striking appearance and ecological benefits make them a treasure of the natural world. Next time you venture into the woods, be sure to keep an eye out for these magnificent fungi. Who knows? You might just witness the magic of the Dancing Tiger in its natural habitat!

Explore, admire, and appreciate what nature has to offer, and remember: always exercise caution and research before engaging in mushroom foraging!

Don Balsam ref I? I think?

Cant believe the mafia version got a “ref” before his actual one LOL.

Balsam has a powerful hand in the medical field in his part of the city and some parts outside it depending on alliances. If an unfamiliar subordinate ends up in one of "his" facilities, it's not uncommon to hear from a another boss or even a Don looking for "cures" for their family who got in a pretty bad tussle. Don Bal doesn't really show himself in public unless it's to visit his favorite diner—or his favorite waitress, and meet for business. People who know his practices well nicknamed him "The Doctor.”

you know, for a series about reckoning with the sins of america's past, the conflict between different forms of governance and the pitfalls of blindly assuming the infallibility of american liberal democracy, and being forced to stop depending on modern technology and search for alternative solutions in an attempt to live in reparative relationship with scarred land or die trying, fallout sure doesn't have that many indigenous people in it, huh.

Malon likes to spoil Ballad with jewelry because his silly kokiri brain is easily impressed by shiny rocks and she likes to see his reaction whenever she finds a new piece for him.

I'm sure she'd be able to easily get Ko'jin on the train as well. Especially after he first saw Ballad's good eye light up when he gifted him the moonstone earrings he wears just about everywhere.

i think it would be really funny if regis had a kind of fucked-up haircut

“he could save everyone except himself” but like with regard to the barbery, and not the surgery. kind of like when chefs don’t cook very well for themselves. or when fashion designers wear sweatpants all day.

but moreover. i think the aesthetic effects of a bad haircut would help to dampen his natural lugosian allure and good looks. to reduce any potential suspicions

Finding Ginko

So, a while ago I was researching what trees are planted in the parks, in the city I live in, so I would recognize them more easily; I found out they were planted 200 years ago, and it's mostly wild chestnuts, lindens, and maple-leaf sycamores. I also found out that somewhere in the city parks, there is one Ginko tree. This immediately thrilled me, because I knew about the Ginko tree from anime, there was a few episodes of Detective Conan specifically about this tree. So I knew it was originally asian, I knew it had beautiful, fan-shaped leaves, and I was a weeb deeply in my heart still, so I decied that one day, I would find this Ginko, and enjoy the japanese anime tree (the tree originated in China).

Yesterday, I watched a video on medicinal properties of Ginko, and I found out that the leaves have healing properties for brain, memory, and ears. These are the 3 things I consistently have problems with, so I generated a plan; I would find the Ginko, get the leaves, make infusion, drink it every day, get my head fixed. I continued watching the video, and it was revealed that not only it had these healing properties, but also female trees could grow nuts that originally would smell very bad (they referenced dog poop smell) but if you cleaned them properly, and dried them, you could roast them and they'd be delicious, addictive even. So now my brain has generated a new plan: Find Ginko, wait until the seeds fall, propagate it, grow my own, have it growing in my food forest, have the medicinal properties + delicious nut forever. I am going to get my hands on that tree.

So I went out the same day, on my bike, to scout the parks for the elusive Ginko tree! It took me 5 minutes to spot it. It wasn't where the article suggested it would be, but in the random walkway, and it was a majestic, beautiful tree. However, the people responsible for prunining the park's trees, have messed it all up for me. All the lower branches were pruned so heavily, that the lowest branch was still several meters out of my reach. I couldn't get a single leaf. I couldn't climb on the nearby fence as it was spiked. The city was not gonna let me get my ginko leaves.

I despaired for a second, then figured, maybe there's a second ginko tree. This one did not look 200 years old, it looked younger. And the article suggested it was in a place by the river, where trees were at first planted in a botanical garden, and at first every tree had a plaque; I knew where this place was. I said bye to the tall, unreachable ginko, and went on my merry way to seek another.

This time it took me longer. I checked every tree I couldn't immediately recognize up close. In my journey, I inspected one inconspicious tree that was growing next to a restaurant, that I never before paid attention to, and discovered it was a mulberry! Absolutely delighted, I started picking fruit and putting it directly in my mouth; it was delicious. Insane that I didn't know about this fruit tree! A group of girls saw me eating from the tree, and they also went to inspect it; they were delighted, and commented on how long it has been the last time they tried a mulberry. Mulberries are an ancient slavic fruit, my great-grandmother had one in her backyard and I used to climb it and eat from it all day. But a lot of them got cut down because it doesn't have commercial purposes, it doesn't store well, you have to eat it as soon as you grab it from the tree.

Happy with my discovery, I would go on, and not spot any tree with ginko leaves, but I found this plaque!

This is the original ginko tree, the one planted 200 years ago. It was so tall and unnacessible, I couldn't even see the shape of leaves up there, the branches were pruned to 7 meters up. It was almost funny how badly my plan was going; I found two ginko trees, and a mulberry, and yet I had nothing to bring home with me. But then I thought, wait, this ginko was here for 200 years, it could have managed to plant itself somewhere, and it's such a valuable and exotic tree, I'm sure they would allow another one to grow. So I sniffed around and searched the area, and finally. I found another, very young ginko tree. So young they couldn't trim the branches 7 meters up, as it was only 5 meters tall. And I was able to get some leaves!

(That is the tall, unreachable ginko tree in the first picture)

Pleased with myself, I went home and made tea. The tea is almost completely transparent, with only a slight yellow tint, and it tastes very mildly sweet; the only thing I could compare it to is the pleasant taste of tree bark. But I like it, I can drink this every day now I know where to find it. Isn't it cool someone planted this tree 200 years ago and I read about it, found it, and was able to make tea from it? Thank you people who planted the Ginko!

Anyways gToG!Leshy is one of my favorites because every interaction I imagine between him and Abella is so heartwarming and beautiful, everything he does as a god is affected by how loved he felt by abella, his domain is a carbon copy of the domain of the goddess of prosperity except alive and colourful and ALIVE because in all of Leshy's mortal years that was how he saw his home, the place he build with his own hands is just a reflection of his character and the place that unfathomable affected him

I don't know why but a God building something that resembles all the good things about his home because he can't think to love and care for anything different deeply affects me

There's something to be said about how Rainsoar Lake (and the forested mountains surrounding it) holds such special meaning to Jiaoqiu. He had spent the majority of his youth strolling along its shores, swimming within its cool waters, and foraging the wild plants and herbs that flourished there. Though the IPC's influence had spread far and wide across the Yaoqing, the small villages dotted around the delve's natural landscape have largely maintained their rural way of life, living off the land and making their living by buying and selling the yields from their harvests.

Since becoming Feixiao's healer and counselor, Jiaoqiu began residing within the ship's central delve, but he still takes time to visit Rainsoar Lake every once in a while to collect ingredients for his prescriptions and to travel down the mountain pass that leads to his childhood village, where his beautifully aging mother still lives. Her husband, Jiaoqiu's father, passed away from illness when their son was on the cusp of adolescence, but her pale gold eyes still twinkle with mirth whenever she sees her boy walk through the front door.
