📖 mushrooms demystified

Ooh, that looks interesting. This reminds me of a great book I read a while back: Magical Mushrooms, Mischievous Molds

[rick]

Word -- and now I don't even have to add it to my list! :bow:

I have it on good authority that Paul Stamets writes a ton of good mushroom books, largely on the "grow your own" side of the topic.

[jhosman]

I have a few of his books. They're great to use as growing resources -- Pretty hefty to read cover to cover 😄 An ecologist friend of mine who works with fungus grumbles about Stamets all the time. Something about him being a fungus sensationalist, ha. I still think he's fascinating though! Love his TED Talk.

[rick]

Yes! I love that talk too. Still haven't grabbed any of his books as of yet, though. One day.

Hiatus here. I forgot a bunch of 💩 I consumed. Such it is.

• [x] 🎵 Thao & The Get Down Stay Down
• [ ] 🎵 (in progress) Laura Gibson

• [x] :book: The Production of Houses by Christopher Alexander

  Many of y'all know I have a total crush on Christopher Alexander and basically almost everything he's ever written. This book was on my radar for like 10 years but I never got a copy until recently. Timely, as I'm doing extensive remodeling on a standalone 2-story building on our property. Dig it.

• [ ] :book: (in progress) The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche -- Good shit.
• [ ] :book: (in progress) How to Meditate by Pema Chodron -- Replacing my standard "intro to meditation book" (Mindfulness in Plain English) with this going forward. Draws on Lojong for some of the direction.
• [x] 🎥 Jason Bourne I love me some Jason Bourne movies. I might not watch this one 40,000 times like the first 3, but I still enjoyed it.

[rick]

wishlist (shit I want to get):

• [ ] The Profound Treasury of the Ocean Dharma (also available for more :dollar: on amazon; and occasionally used versions show up at powell's)

[rick]

wishlist: Linz Cafe by Christopher Alexander
