Sage: Fungus, Heavy Metals

This herb’s nature is geared toward fighting fungus. Consuming sage is wonderful for healing fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and jock itch from the inside out, as well as tackling mutant strains of fungus in the intestinal tract.

If you’ve been exposed to toxic mold, turn to sage to help detoxify. Also, sage helps remove toxic heavy metals from the intestinal tract

This is going to be an intense year of cicadas...

within a week to 10 days, the fungus causes the backside of their abdomens open up. A chalky, white plug erupts out, taking over their bodies and making their genitals fall off.

"But there's also something else unusual about it," he said. "There's this hyper-sexualized behavior. So, males for example, they'll continue to try and mate with females — unsuccessfully, because again, their back end is a fungus.
\
Usually, male cicadas will let out a loud humming sound to attracted female cicadas and the female will flick her wings to signal she wants to mate. But the fungus has males flicking their wings like females to attract males and in turn, infect them, Kasson says.

Oh no's! Problems in Jack Daniel's No 7

Well, Jack is fine, doing well, but the trees and neighbors are not happy with the

Whiskey Fungus

Not to worry though, unless you live nearby the expansive & expanding barrel houses, now 6 but headed to ol' No.7

Seriously, the whiskey is fine, no worries, and the fungus covering nearby trees and roadsigns is non-toxic (so far).

And thats the Saturday edition of "News You Need To Know". :)

Right, @V. T. Eric Layton - I'm just the messenger! ;) And everything's fine. Unless you're 'woke' and watching the news! ;)

To Whiskey! 🥃 And Jack.

Pay no attention to the fungus. It's the very least of our problems!

Hopefully, the article will open in response to it being the first link - but ya' never know in virtual world!

Enjoy the Jack # 7 - But stay away from that Johnny Red,

Poison Whiskey

Set that clock back... (groan) ... chin chin!

yellow stainer (Agaricus xanthodermus), so called bc it stains yellow with contact/bruising/cutting/beating with a hickory rod and calling it names as you chase it around the village (not recommended - spores). They are exceptionally good at looking similar to more well-mannered mushrooms, which they are not! sneaky.
the pink gills turn brown with age
nibbled on by creatures not human
grows in association with anything. it has no moral standards.
spore print: dark brownish purple which may sound attractive but it isnt; the colour of the dried-mud remnant of Nature's watercolour set from Toyland
smells like phenol. (again, not attractive. yet people eat them, every year)
kills people.
they hate us. dont eat them.

Mushrooms communicate with each other using up to 50 ‘words’, scientist claims | Fungi | The Guardian

Professor theorises electrical impulses sent by mycological organisms could be similar to human language

"They keep treating us like low-paid workers!" said one of the mushrooms.
(Although there is mushroom for doubt about this.)
