It has been damp and mild the last couple of days which is perfect for some late October shrooms! I first notice when I looked over the neighbours fence and saw a whole stand? patch? crowd? of 6-inch mushrooms standing tall to celebrate the warm weather.
It inspired me so much, I marched right out and didn’t stop til I reached 10,000 steps. Is should probably post right in the community for greater rewards as I know man @actifit posts get skipped over. I prefer to support the app I joined day 1 years ago and think more people putting effort into telling stories and sharing the experiences of those steps, the rewards and attention will come.
I had a long day finishing off the workweek making the rounds for @town-crier https://towncriermarketing.ca and had most of my steps in by the time I headed to the park. I was there to breath in some fresh air, unwind and let the dog have the time of his life.
Then I looked down again.
I find the closer you look at a mushroom, the neater it looks. Whether on the turf like the title shot, or gathered on this decomposing stump.
Looking closer, it is like transporting yourself to another world. Such rich texture and asymmetric chaos in harmony.
It is a miracle this one survived as it bravely stood on probs my the last warm day of the season with temperatures apparently ready to return to the norm.
We were talking about mycelium networks, how they can apparently survive the vacuum and cold of space. How colliding celestial bodies could splash spores across the galaxy to find a home on life-sustaining planet. Then the prospect of being buried in a mushroom suit like Luke Perry https://orionmagazine.org/article/luke-perry-mushroom-shroud-90210-riverdale/#:~:text=“He%20was%20buried%20in%20that,She%20called%20them%20Infinity%20Mushrooms.
Happy Fungi Friday my psychedelic friends!
