The pigeons seem to be quite entertained by my whistling, it is pouring with rain but they are choosing to stay and seem to react to my attempts at notes, i'm not very good yet but i'm learning, can you tell which tune it is meant to be? ?? This is my attempt at Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No.5? ? shhhhhh ?? The Symphony No. 5 in whistling flat c dead by me ?of Ludwig van Beethoven, it was written between 1804 and 1808 and is one of the best-known compositions in classical music and one of the most frequently played symphonies, it is widely considered one of the cornerstones of western music.

My Mycelium and Psilocybin connection started in 1988, the very first time I picked the fungi from the wild and ate them, everything is connected but sometimes it takes us decades to put the pieces together. It is 4am and the lights are low and i'm smoking a fine hybrid i grew, the inspiration and my desire to record my thoughts and share it hit me and luckily the camera and tripod was handy, imagine you had just handed me that fat spliff i'm toking, you wouldn't want the bright lights on but you probably want the spliff back, hehehe we've all been there when your buddy is pontificating and Bogarting the toke.

Fungi are found in terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments, and are part of a diverse community of “decomposers” that break down dead plants and animals. Aside from fungi, this community includes bacteria, tiny invertebrates, such as nematodes, and larger invertebrates, like snails, beetles and earthworms. Fungi transform organic matter into forms that can be utilised by other decomposers, and into food for plants. Fungi exist almost everywhere that moisture is present. They can be found as single-celled organisms that are invisible to the naked eye or as multiple-celled organisms, such as mushrooms. Fungi do not reproduce through sexual reproduction, seed, or photosynthesis, but rather through spores. These spores germinate to produce a dense network of interweaved, single-cell structures known as hyphae, which collectively assemble with incredible precision into much more complex structures called mycelium. The word “mycelium” is derived from New Latin and Greek origins and means “more than one”. The growth of mycelium is rapid; they release enzymes that help break down matter into a more digestible form, which they take in as energy.
