Mushroom torture



Good NIGHT!, people. Don't ever do this to mushrooms, ever. Please. But if you want a laugh, check out this blog of hilarious Weight Watchers recipe cards from the 1970's.

BONUS: How to play Sweet Home Alabama on the guitar!!!

Can video


I've been real busy finishing up the term. Facebook is stealing from the blog's face-time. I'm sorry to those who may have been interested. Here's a video of the ol' timey German psychedelic band Can performing a song called "Agaricoid Basidiocarp". No wait, it's actually called "Mushroom". I have my doubts that these fellas ever toured in Alabama, but if you know otherwise, drop me a comment.

Interesting cover of Sweet Home Alabama



This is a Finnish band, the Leningrad Cowboys, with the Red Army Choir.

Long time, no blog,


So here's a very strange mushroom related video link.
It does appear that the protagonist is cooking and eating an Amanita muscaria, which does have hallucinogenic properties, but could just as easily kill you.
So I wouldn't accept this guy's liver for a transplant on a dare.

Seasons Greetings /Top viral film from Alabama

Okay, I don't really care much for viruses of any kind. Computer viruses are nasty, human pathogenic viruses are no picnic, and there are some unsavory plant pathogens as well. Tobacco mosaic virus is one of them. But in the forests, viruses are not really known for being pathogens. In the forests, the fungi are pretty much the main players with the trees. But this video is the new, good(?) kind of viral,

Warning, you may find yourself humming about "just like a mini-mall" when you should be humming Christmas carols!


And in honor of the Holiday, here's a lovely image of jolly ol' St. Nick and some mushrooms. Thanks TV!
