Of Octopi And Fungi

Immersing myself in the mystery, power, beauty, and magic of the natural world has felt especially soothing of late. Two organisms in particular have been popping up on my radar repeatedly. I have previously given little thought to either life form which reinforces for me that if you deep dive into anything, you will eventually be awed...

OCTOPI

1. The documentary, My Octopus Teacher, is wonderful.

2. RadioLab dropped my jaw with this account of deep sea motherhood.

 

FUNGI

1. The film, Fantastic Fungi, is a bit of a revelation.

2. RadioLab also put out an episode recently called Fungus Amongus 

 

that touches back to their brilliant episode on the end of the Age of Reptiles.

3. Which leave me wanting to try psilocybin despite my general distain for psychedelic culture.
