I always like your threads JG :-) This is equally enjoyable!

Paul Stamet is (to me) like a modern age mushroom-man!
He creates his own cultures , spores...incredible journey he has been on within the world of mushrooms!
I would recommend checking out his work.

It's my understanding that without the mere fungus...nothing would exist - at all!

I remember Paul S commenting that we are (the human body) all essentially 'walking colonies of fungi'.

The candida imbalance so many are susceptible to is testament to the very intricate balance needed for fungus to survive. Candida is one of the stronger strains - which feeds off of sugars - so with this modern carb-heavy diet it takes-over and leads to awful symptoms which many are not aware are due to this strain of fungus going all crazy on your insides!

The symbolism relating to mushrooms indicate to me this divine recognition as a 'germination ground' for advanced life to spring forth.

Without them...it's impossible to say (for me at least) what would exist.

The cap shape is reminiscent of the start of a 'bell' shape - which in and of itself is an extremely powerful vibrational shape...sine-waves...


So damn yeah....worship the shrooms! :-)
