How'd you like to travel a few years into a future world of positive outcomes?
Maybe if we practice imagining what that could be, we might be more inclined to
MAKE IT SO! (he shouted).
If that is challenging, you might want to listen closely to some of the, so far, 98 episodes of From What If to What Next. If we can't imagine it, it's not fucking likely to happen, eh? We can retrain our brains.
"If there was ever a time for fresh thinking, for being bold, for being visionary and imaginative – for reimagining everything – this is it. Each episode, writer and Transition Movement founder, Rob Hopkins, invites cutting edge thinkers to visualise a new future. Join us as we ask What If..." #permaculture#TransitionTowns https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/from-what-if-to-what-next/id1538281063
87 - What if fungi saved the world?
"Welcome to one of those episodes of From What If to What Next that really gets under your skin. We are going to step out of our everyday commonplace universe and enter the parallel world of #fungi that lives all around us, and really creates the world we live in. It’s a pretty wild ride. Two amazing guests will hold our hands on our deep dive into this fascinating world. Dr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian is the Curator of #Mycology at the New York State Museum, and her forthcoming book has possibly the best title I have ever heard which I’m not going to tell you so it can be a delightful surprise. And Doug Bierend is a New York based writer and author of the book In Search of Mycotopia." https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/87-what-if-fungi-saved-the-world/id1538281063?i=1000629871301
Okay, Mastodon! I have a #fungus#mycology mystery for you. Can anyone tell me what exactly is growing out of the path to my backyard? If it helps, I live in #Winnipeg, which is in #Manitoba, about 620.1 km / 385.31 mi north of Minneapolis.
(Sorry, no alt text since I don't know how to describe what I'm looking at.)
Please boost! Hopefully someone knows what this is (and how to get rid of it.) :boost_ok:
Bird's nest #fungus on a rotting stick, 9 October 2021, Petersham, #Massachusetts. These are around 1/4 inch in diameter. I first encountered the Nidulariaceae (from the Latin "nidulus" for "small nest") around a year or so ago and they never cease to amaze me.
A lil queer mixed race person on the south shore of #Mikmaki/#NovaScotia where I feed crows & am dreaming up garden plans. I’m a #WebDev who has a complicated relationship with #tech that I will probably always be unpacking.
I’m a settler working toward kinship.
A few pics from a hike at Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park in Oakland, California.
I don’t know a lot about #fungi but these are my best guesses. Corrections are welcome!
🍄Tiny bonnet #mushrooms on moss.
🍄A sulphur shelf.
🍄Silver leaf #fungus. #mosstodon #mycology #EastBay#BayArea
I have no idea what this is, but it's very cool. Seen in Victoria, BC, last week. For scale, each nodule is about 2 mm. #mushtodon#fungi#mycology#victoriabc
Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind #diekleinenDinge die zählen.
#fungifact 🍄📷 Nitrathelmlinge haben immer einen nitratartigen, unangenehmen Geruch und dind ungenießbar. Es gibt mehrere sehr ähnliche Arten die nur mikroskopisch unterscheidbar sind.
From when I went on a forest walk with my friends and their babbo to hunt for morels. I'm not wise with the mycology but my friends knew where to look to find mushrooms!
