Encountered some #fungi during our walk at #Kirroughtree yesterday, and explained to our 7yo about the #mycorrhizal network. Looking for a textbook on the subject, I came across the name Paul Stamets, which, having watched #startrekdiscovery, struck me as just too much of a coincidence. Seems the contemporary expert influenced the whole #sporedrive plotline, and the Lt Cmdr was named after him in tribute! Hence the #MerlinSheldrake book I saw in #wigtown today referencing both!

Today i Learned:
Some fungi hunt and eat nematode worms!!

From the book Entangled Life: How fungi make our world, change our minds, and shape our future. By Merlin Sheldrake

At the end of the scene, Coach Beard goes back to reading #EntangledLife by #MerlinSheldrake which is about fungi and the mycelial network that connects trees to sustain their socialist community by providing infrastructure for funneling and boosting nutrients where needed most.

@SuperTwaddle amazing. Bokashi sounds like next level composting! I'd love to get into mushroom growing - I've just read #MerlinSheldrake's book #EntangledLife, which has got me very excited about #mycelium possibilities...

@littlerachyb I've just finished reading books by #GuyShrubsole #merlinsheldrake and #GeorgeMonbiot on this topic. Keen to hear any other recommendations for books and podcasts on #temperaterainforest and related topics

Just read a most amazing fact. Not only can you train a #flatworm - if you cut off it’s head, it will grow a new head, complete with #brain *and* retain its memory. Every day’s a school day that’s for sure. Btw if you haven’t read #MerlinSheldrake ‘s #EntangledLife about how important the networks made by #fungi are I heartily recommend

@amythicwitch That was the most amazing book - it literally expanded my consciousness onto another level. #merlinsheldrake #EntangledLife

I am going to a lecture at #Spui25 tonight by #MerlinSheldrake about the #HiddenLifeOfFungi. It will be live streamed of anyone is interested https://spui25.nl/programma/merlin-sheldrake. Looking forward to it a lot, of only since it has been ages since I've been to something like this (there will also be #poetry by #RamseyNasr and music by the #CalefaxEnsemble.

Jos sienet kiehtovat, kirjavinkkinä tämä Merlin Sheldraken Entangled Life. Takakannen hehkutukset eivät liioittele.
