My little plan.

[cidermaid]

Cringe worthy effort...but it was fun teasing my son who is seriously disturbed by mushrooms and was trying to throw them out of the house without touching them. He has a little plan to rid the world of fungi.


My little plan

Your creeping crypsis habits
have been noted. With silent intent
you slowly invade this kingdom.

Your planted pose might take in some
with your static stools; blind fools
who do not see your creep tactics.

I am awake.

You perceive me, a comestible store,
a snack van that will eventually stop,
lie down and delectably decompose.

I will not eat your spongy form,
nor allow my hand to touch
your noxious fruiting body.

I will banish you.

Under a pseudo cloak of psychotropic induced
madness, clouded by my “spore infection”
I would cleanse the world.

Enough fragmented morphing,
no more happy haploid fusing
…and similar unspeakable perversions of life.

The genocide will be justified…Be gone foul fungus!


(For Matt).

Delightful, with an adoring personal connection in your son's fear of the 'humongus fungus among-us.' I am fascinated with fungi. I have studied them, eaten them, written poetry about them and painted them (see my avatar). Sounds like you have done your research too. I wonder how Matt would react to an orange slime mold that I found in the garden mulch last week. Thanks for posting this one!/Chris

Pink or orange? Sounds like Lycogala epidendrum to me!
Myxomycete.

Orange and brilliant my friend and mycologist!

I love fungi, I think they are beautiful, but it is the lichen that keeps me fascinated. I believe they have a alge/ fungal symbiot thing going on - amazing. I could get lost for hours just on the farm.
Needless to say...Matt doesn't do outdoors!
