“Mycelial networks are the foundation of the food web joining us all”
Paul Stamets, master mycologist
ODE TO MYCELIA starts like this:
Bless each step,
that the mycelium might
squeal in delight
at the strike of my heel and
the curl of my toes…
Ode to Mycelia, and Her myriad fruits and flowers -
the little cap-heads and cone-heads and flat hats peeking up above the drenched, muddy bark along forest trails; those much coveted medicinals that heal even the ugliest disease; and our ceremonial medicines garnered in cow pastures at dawn.
Mycelia is here among us, birthing it up!
The mushroom, by its very existence, is a source of enraptured bliss for me; as is the croak of a tiny frog or the fleeting flash of a fairy lighting by.
Great Mother Mycelia, your arms stretch to span the galaxies of all times.
MYCELIUM. Majestic mycelium, whose tendrils butter the very understory of life, with a pulsing network beneath our feet.
Mycelia is the canvas tapestry spawning Earth’s green dance!!!
MYCELIA. Fertile womb and neuro-fascial network for the living Earth Herself…
Research shows time and again that trees communicate with eachother and exchange nutrients over great distances across mycelial telephone lines. Master mycologist (mushroom/mycelium biologist) Paul Stamets has this to say:
“I see the mycelium as the Earth’s natural internet…Through cross-species interfacing, we may one day exchange information with these sentient cellular networks.”
i believe we already do.
Mushrooms are miraculous budding songs from the sacred mycelial web strewn below us like fascia across the underside of Earth’s dirt - Mycelium is fascia woven intricately through the complete terrain of soil.
Fascia contains (holds form and contents together) and intercommunicates like the nervous system it actually is, through mineral-charged fluids like lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood.
So too it is with Earth - like the birth of new synapses in our awakening brain, and like biochemical information streaming through our body’s fascial web, mycelial webs teem with nutrients and biochemical information carrying messages and directions for evolution and life.
It is from Mycelia’s web that all life was - and is - born.
With a quick search in Green Med Info’s research library (of over 10,000 (peer-reviewed PubMed) articles on health, medicine, and the natural world) i found this perfect adjunct article on mycelium by Sayer Ji. In four years since joining Green Med Info, every single medical question i’ve asked was covered - hence an invaluable resource - with articles, studies, and reports.
Paul Stamets is a mystic wizard, and one could be captivated surfing his youtubes for days. Stamets’ medical work and ecological research proved that mushrooms have the capacity to consume toxic substances and regenerate earth, water and soil.
We ourselves are little more than earth, water and soil.
(‘nuff said there.)
In my new world, our new world, real humans will most certainly not be AI enhanced and roboticized; but rather, mycelially optimized and enlightened with endless springs of telomerase and the breath of the god-force streaming in our DNA. Their eyes will sparkle, and their bodies will remember how to be whole.
Ode to Mycelia
Bless each step,
that the mycelium might
squeal in delight
at the strike of my heel and
the curl of my toes…
That She may know beyond
all doubt
that i come to reweave Her
glorious web of Life with
the unstruck sound of
the purely devoted heart.
That i am fully, completely, and
uncompromisingly
on Her side.
Bless each step…
These are great videos bt the way…
paul stamets:
Thank you for sharing this year with me here on the stack. See you all soon!
What a beautiful vision: In my new world, our new world, real humans will most certainly not be AI enhanced and roboticized; but rather, mycelially optimized and enlightened with endless springs of telomerase and the breath of the god-force streaming in our DNA. Their eyes will sparkle, and their bodies will remember how to be whole.
Happy new year Yolanda
Natures intelligence network for good(survival). As my guitar gently weeps I see chemtrails, mad everything disease
as interference unnatural. On the long timeline, all a blip. But it is now and threatening to our very existence. Humans are dark and not deserving of all this “beauty “!!!!!
