Like the mushroom in the woods, we may appear to be a single entity, but we are invisibly connected by a network as wide as the forest floor.

We feast on mushrooms when we are alive
But they say, when we die...
Mushrooms feast on us.

in another world, i did have the spirit to feel the soft blades of green beneath my feet whilst treading upon the faery ring, and i had been carried into another universe of my own, leaving the earthly realm behind

For National Poetry Day 2023, I am picking Sylvia Plath's poem "Mushrooms" from her first volume The Colossus, published in 1960.

The Elf and the Dormouse Under a toadstool Crept a wee Elf, Out of the rain To shelter himself. Under the toadstool, Sound asleep, Sat a big Dormouse All in a heap.

White-rot on birch,
Lilac-grey dust that smells oddly
Of almonds?
Peach pits..
Cherry seeds!
The breeze carries the spores
Now that Spring is here,
We forage amidst the decaying trees
We posthole in the snow,
Still deep under the shade
Of rippling greenery,
A canopy of fresh, lime colored leaves
Hoping for just one basket
Of oyster mushrooms, hiratake,
For the recipe my grandmother gave
@nosebleedclub April 14th - Oyster Mushroom

Fungi Funeral [1/4/24]
Who decomposes
a fungus, when she dies?
Does her next of kin, break her down,
thinking "Oh, oh, dear mother of mine"?
Does a mushroom return
to the earth that she's built?
The earth that she's turned
into dirt made from silt?
Does a mushroom grieve
for her family, forgotten?
And is she alone
until she herself is rotten?
Do fungi feel
as alone as we do?
Does a mushroom want
a love just as true?
I've read that fungi
make paths in a way
similar to those
that a computer may.
Are we the same?
Both inside and out?
After all, after death,
we become a brand new sprout

A brief history of the ancient use of Golden Teacher by Mycolancer
Tumblr media
The "Golden Teacher" is a colloquial term often used to refer to a specific strain of psychedelic mushrooms, scientifically known as psilocybe cubensis. These mushrooms have been used for centuries in various cultural and spiritual contexts. When discussing the pre-colonial history of the use of Golden Teacher mushrooms, it's essential to remember that specific strain names like "Golden Teacher" are relatively recent and are more commonly associated with modern cultivation. However, the broader history of p. cubensis and its traditional use can be traced back in different parts of the world.
Indigenous Use in Mesoamerica: p. cubensis mushrooms, including the potential ancestors of the "Golden Teacher" strain, have been used by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica for thousands of years. The Aztecs, in particular, used them in religious and shamanic rituals. The Aztec name for these mushrooms was "teonanácatl," which means "flesh of the gods." The use of these mushrooms was closely tied to their spiritual and cultural practices.
Pre-Colonial Shamanic Practices: Indigenous shamans and healers in regions such as present-day Mexico and Guatemala would ingest p. cubensis mushrooms to induce altered states of consciousness. They believed these altered states allowed them to communicate with the spirit world, receive divine guidance, and heal the sick, among other reasons.
Cultural Significance: The use of these mushrooms was deeply ingrained in the cultural and spiritual heritage of various indigenous groups, and it was considered a sacred and profound practice. The experiences induced by p. cubensis were seen as a way to gain insight, resolve conflicts, and connect with the natural world. This is not meant to be a complete list of all uses and intentions within these many cultures.
European Contact and Suppression: When European colonizers arrived in the Americas, they often suppressed indigenous cultural practices, including the use of p. cubensis. Many native rituals involving these mushrooms were deemed heretical by the Catholic Church, leading to their suppression and persecution.
Modern Rediscovery: The use of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms was largely forgotten during the colonial period and subsequent centuries. It was only in the mid-20th century, with the work of scholars like R. Gordon Wasson, that these mushrooms and their cultural significance began to be rediscovered by the Western world. Wasson's experiences with Psilocybe mushrooms in Mexico contributed to a renewed interest in psychedelic substances.
The specific strain known as "Golden Teacher" is a more recent development, primarily within the context of modern cultivation and recreational use. It is important to understand that the contemporary naming and identification of strains like "Golden Teacher" stem from efforts to distinguish between different varieties of Psilocybe cubensis based on their growth characteristics, appearance, and potency. The use of these strains, while still tied to psychedelic experiences, differs significantly from the traditional indigenous practices of Mesoamerica and should be approached with caution and respect for the cultural and historical context in which they were used. This article is not meant to be an extensive source of information. We will get into deeper understanding of what is known about indigenous use of psilocybin containing mushrooms in future articles.

When the mushrooms first found me I spent hours laying in the dirt. Here an entire layer of life escaped me, here, this ten inches of top soil, and the fact that it rains, the fact is a veil must be broken open like bread, the fact that yeast rises like a dog begs on hind legs, the fact that the sacrosanct has to be raised and shared between mouths.
I would raise a home if I could, here, with my bare beak, would swim upstream to a hollow in the riverbank, would grow four strong legs, half a dozen young full of careless bite dripping in the sun.
For a while each love was this love. You were vessels into which I poured small gifts and yes, yes, we were the carnivores in this story, that is to say: a light that doesn’t shine through until you rip something in two.
