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.

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.)

Research Grants: call for applications
Both the inaugural Fungimap Research Grants and the Australasian Mycological Society Research Grants are now open for applications.
The Fungimap Research Grant is open to citizen scientists and those building the capacity of fungi citizen science in Australia, while the Australasian Mycological Society Research Grant is open to people associated with an Australasian research organisation.

Imagine an organism that feeds you, heals you, reveals
secrets of the universe and could help save the planet.
Now imagine that it’s in the ground beneath your feet…
An artistically-shot, scientifically-sound, life-affirming film about mycelium: the incredible, intelligent network under our feet that has the proven ability to restore our ecosystem, repair our health, and resurrect our symbiotic relationship to nature. Fantastic Fungi aspires to be an educational, inspirational, and ultimately critical film that explores the uses and benefits of fungi in three critical areas.
First, we uncover the research that shows mycelium as a viable alternative to western pharmacology, including treatment for breast cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and PTSD. Second, we reveal studies that point to mycelium as a solution to our gravest environmental challenges, such as toxic oil spills and colony collapse disorder. Finally, we marvel at mycelium’s proven benefit on shifting consciousness and aiding in deep personal transformation. The research, discoveries, and anecdotal evidence we’ve gathered is astounding, particularly when shared through Louie’s visual storytelling.
An all-star team of artists, scientists, doctors and explorers are joining forces to create a mind-bending, life-affirming film about the mushroom and its mysterious root-like structure: mycelium. What they reveal will blow your mind, and possibly save the planet.
