#mycelium
“It’s like mycelium and mushrooms. There’s a whole subterranean network of fibrous connections between things and as it proliferates and grows, that’s the life-sustaining part. It’s not necessarily what’s above ground and what people see most readily. It’s not the trees in the forest. It’s the underground network of subterranean life, communicating with other kinds of subterranean life, that’s vital for the whole ecosystem, and it lives on.”
Stryker ends “My Words” with a blessing: “If this is your path, as it is mine, let me offer whatever solace you may find in this monstrous benediction: May you discover the enlivening power of darkness within yourself. May it nourish your rage. May your rage inform your actions, and your actions transform you as you struggle to transform your world.”
I regift this to you and hope it will save you as it has saved me and offer my own kind of prayer for those of us who are still inhabiting a monstrous space or body. May those who taught you to fear yourself learn to fear you, may we be the mycelium, ever growing, never dying. May we recreate the world in our own image.

My workmate brought me these diseased Passiflora caerulea -leaf samples. The fungus causing the powdery mildew symptoms was identified as Pseudoidium passiflorae fungus. That is the anamorph (asexual stage) of the Erysiphe sp. fungus, producing single conidia on the conidiophores that rises from the mycelium. The multilobed appressoria are also seen in the pictures.

Erysiphe symphoricarpi -powdery mildew fungus infecting western snowberry (Symphoricarpos occidentalis). Chasmothecia were densely clustered on the leaves. The appendages of the chasmothecia are clearly dichotomously branched, tips not recurved.

Powdery mildew fungus (Phyllactinia fraxini) producing chasmothecia on European ash (Fraxinus excelcior).

It’s about that time again. I’m ready for another big trip with some home grown Cambodian cubensis.

I love these beautifully created diagrams that explain the relationship plants, soul and fungi have… its an amazing world living right underneath the ground we walk on.
