There is no point to this post, does there ever really need to be a point to a post?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have long had a deep seated interest in mushrooms, there was a summer in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, MA I went out and bought an edible mushroom book and foraged for schrooms in my mom’s yard. I sauteed and ate some boletes and chanterelles, at least I think they were boletes and chanterelles, oh and the funky, funny, ever loving Chicken of the woods<\/a>. They were indeed quite delicious, but I was a bit nervous about the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also a time, around that time, oh what a time it was! that a friend and I built a mycelium chamber and thought we would grow our own psilocybin. No idea why it didn’t work out, those mushrooms are just pesky I guess. We were pretty serious, ordered spores from some online joint, made a “clean” inoculation chamber, followed all the rules, but basically wound up with a small amount of white fuzz in a petri dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that was then, this is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I opened the green bin (the garbage bin for yard waste) the other day and there was bean sprout growing up out of the floor of it. It<\/p>\n\n\n\n

was not that surprising as my son Luke and distributed a whole bag of navy beans throughout the yard, but still I was impressed by the steadfastness of that little legume.<\/p>\n\n\n

It is not a mushroom, but that sight reminded me instantly of a moment when I first arrived at SUNY Purchase in 1999(?).<\/p>\n\n\n

After being told by the local cop that he never wanted to see my car again as it was uninsured and unregistered, I went out and bought a can of blue paint and hand painted it. While I was doing some last minute detail work found a mushroom growing up on of the passenger floor mat.<\/p>\n\n\n

That is actually why I thought of writing this, knowing that since I scanned my entire photo archive (6000+), I knew I had a photo of that ‘little mushroom that could” on the floor of my now sky blue hand painted 1968 Volkswagen Squareback. It seems like it all adds up to a post of some kind or another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
