I think Oregon has legalized the silly-cybins. Or maybe it’s Washington, my favorite place to be FROM

I once took a mushroom class with a pro, and we gathered a bunch. Later we made a lunch that was pretty much all mushrooms, about 4 kinds. I felt pretty weird after, I think it was just too many spores at once. I do love them in moderation, though, and you have got me craving a nice plate of fried mushrooms and some rice. When it rains here there is an abundance of white mushrooms that look so very edible, but from all I can find out, they are not. Mushrooms are tricky, I still hope to grow some on oak logs myself, also alder can grow them. Lastly, my Mimosa tree is dying, but sprouting a few nice shelf mushrooms at the base as the tree rots. I am told that the shelf mushroom will be a good medicine, and take on the qualities of the Mimosa tree, which I will miss as it is a lovely tree that attracts bees. So much to know. I also take mushrooms as a helpful analogy to our resisting the cabal, as we do tend to grow underground with little fanfare and then suddenly sprout up everywhere when conditions are right.

❤ beautiful

I was just thinking last night about how my grandpa taught me when and where to look for Morel mushrooms on our property in Omaha. We were the only ones who loved them and scavenged to find them. I didn't realize they were an expensive delicacy until I grew up.

Nice article, and your approach to mushrooms is commendable.

It's not something I'd trust period. But I would trust your husband.

Seriously though, how could you be convinced they were safe, especially with all the toxic shit that may or may not have been deposited on the land, water, in the air. Mushrooms may or not concentrate this stuff, that we don't know about.

Yes, I'm paranoid, with good reason.

Anyway, glad you survived it with no ill effects, better than bugs which are nearly guaranteed to have parasites, although not all infect humans.
