holding up
a whole sky of trees.

Under a quilt of needles,
it presses upward—
a small insistence
against the coming white silence.

We all have forests in our minds.
Forests unexplored, unending.
Each one of us gets lost in the
forest, every night, alone.

Mushroom On a Log — Mt. Lemmon Image by kenne
In recent years, many remarkable experiments have shown that fungi operate as individuals, engage in decision-making,
are capable of learning, and possess short-term memory. These findings highlight the spectacular sensitivity of such ‘simple’
organisms and situate the human version of the mind within a spectrum of consciousness that might well span the entire natural world.

“In our finest hours…the soul of the country manifests itself in an
inclination to open our arms rather than to clench our fists; to look
out rather than to turn inward; to accept rather than to reject. In so
doing, America has grown ever stronger, confident that the choice of
light over dark is the means by which we pursue progress.”

Desert Mushroom (Podaxis pistillaris) 2 comments
Desert Mushroom (Podaxis pistillaris) — Image by kenne
This is probably the most common mushroom in the Sonoran Desert. It is found in desert environments worldwide. The fruiting body appears above the ground upon a woody stem within a few days after a soaking rain usually during the cooler seasons. It is fibrous and woody and the cap remains closed down around the gills and spores, presumably to protect them from extreme dry periods. (arizonensis.org)

and it began as did all the fine arts,

Brother, you are gone,
that which was earth
gone back to earth,
that which was human
scattered like rain
into the darkened
wild eyes of herbs.

A mushroom
alone
burrows out
of the ground
pine nettles
hang from its
head
entering a new
world
out of darkness
into the
light of day.

A mushroom blossom
Doesn’t attract butterflies,
But pleasing beetle.
A pleasing beetle
Is not a lady beetle,
Black on blue not red.

Mushrooms as a Metaphor
“. . . there are several types of mushrooms: some are edible while others are poisonous. Hence the mushroom represents the uncertainty in today’s world where one is unsure of one’s step, having to be cautious because what lies ahead could be either beneficial or unsafe.”
