Lichen morphology (no, the other kind) in Sheldrake's "Entangled Life"

To promote the book (and have some fun at the same time), Sheldrake fed a copy to some oyster mushrooms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chOsO7XhLB8 and then ate the mushrooms that grew from his book https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJfDaIVl-tE

(Most of the sounds in the timelapse video were made by mushrooms; see the alt text or click through for details.)

"The difference between animals and fungi is simple: animals put food in their bodies, whereas fungi put their bodies in the food."

Poi dicono che le veline dei bar non servono a nulla, ed invece servono a prendere appunti quando si legge "l'ordine nascosto: la vita segreta dei funghi" di #merlinsheldrake.

"On Feb 7, 2024, the cross party committee of UK MPs, the Science, Innovation & Technology Select Committee held a one-off session looking at how the remarkable and diverse properties of fungi can be harnessed to improve human health, tackle environmental and engineering challenges and increase food security. #MerlinSheldrake was one of the witnesses interviewed about the ways we can partner with #fungi to adapt to life on a damaged planet."

I really enjoyed this episode of the Zoe podcast, about mushrooms.

Featuring Merlin Sheldrake, writer of Entangled Life - one of my favourite books of all time, just amazing.

Here he talks more about the nutritional aspect of fungi - it's a nutrition-focused podcast - but he does get in some fascinating and incredible details about fungi, along with lots of talk about the health benefits.

Review of "Entangled Life" (4 stars): An appetizer for the world of fungi, not a beginners mycology textbook

https://bookrastinating.com/user/meliache/review/344931

Let's hope the fungal facts are more accurate than the snail imagery in the new science film
#snail #fungi #bjork #merlinsheldrake

I hope Fungi comes to Dublin. Looks like it's IMAX only? Seems like good fodder for the IFI.

Fungi: Web of Life Trailer (IMAX movie, narrated by Björk, presented by Merlin Sheldrake)

https://youtu.be/YCf7YywIBZ8?feature=shared

"The film is about the ways that fungi have shaped life on Earth for over a billion years, and how we might partner with them to adapt to the radical change of our times.

It's narrated by Björk, who speaks the story with inimitable magic and sensitivity.

It features astonishing fungal time lapse photography from some of the best fungal photographers working today, including Steve Axford (@planet_fungi on the birdsite), Patrick Hickey, and Wim van Egmond. Much of this footage depicts aspects of fungal life that have never been captured in such high spatial and temporal resolution before.

The film will be trickling into IMAX cinemas across Europe and North America over the latter part of 2023 and into 2024, and may already be playing at a theatre near you."

This fungi film looks amazing.

Presented by Merlin Sheldrake. His book Entangled Life is one of the best things I've ever read, completely blew my mind.

And with time-lapse footage from Planet Fungi. Their Youtube channel is just wonderful. Basically every video on it is worth watching

Very excited for this film. Hope it becomes available online after the cinema release.

@publicvoit I'm currently reading his brother's (Merlin Sheldrake's) #book about #Fungi, "The Entangled Life", also very recommendable. Out of curiosity I searched for Merlin Sheldrake on Youtube a couple of days ago and just by accident stumbled upon his brother's music and also fell in love with it. I'm not very music-oriented to be honest and feel out of touch with much of modern music, but I love nature and Cosmo's music seems to be inspired by it. Today I searched for the hashtag and was surprised that you had just recently recommended him. I follow you, but had somehow skipped over this recommendation. Still, feels like a small world.

Encountered some #fungi during our walk at #Kirroughtree yesterday, and explained to our 7yo about the #mycorrhizal network. Looking for a textbook on the subject, I came across the name Paul Stamets, which, having watched #startrekdiscovery, struck me as just too much of a coincidence. Seems the contemporary expert influenced the whole #sporedrive plotline, and the Lt Cmdr was named after him in tribute! Hence the #MerlinSheldrake book I saw in #wigtown today referencing both!

@littlerachyb I've just finished reading books by #GuyShrubsole #merlinsheldrake and #GeorgeMonbiot on this topic. Keen to hear any other recommendations for books and podcasts on #temperaterainforest and related topics

Just read a most amazing fact. Not only can you train a #flatworm - if you cut off it’s head, it will grow a new head, complete with #brain *and* retain its memory. Every day’s a school day that’s for sure. Btw if you haven’t read #MerlinSheldrake ‘s #EntangledLife about how important the networks made by #fungi are I heartily recommend

@amythicwitch That was the most amazing book - it literally expanded my consciousness onto another level. #merlinsheldrake #EntangledLife
