  • KNU Fungus Discovered!

    Who knows what we might discover next week? or what we overlooked last week?

    –Steve fly agaric 23

    “Other similar species
    Sarah added that the fungus’ true identity had been shielded because there were other similar varieties but with different colour patterns. The secret, she said, finally came out when scientists at Cardiff University isolated the fungus’ DNA and found it to be unique. —http://www.wildlifeextra.com/go/news/new-forest-fungus.html#cr

    “ScienceDaily (Oct. 5, 2009) — Seven new glow-in-the-dark mushroom species have been discovered, increasing the number of known luminescent fungi species from 64 to 71. Reported in the journal Mycologia, the new finds include two new species named after movements in Mozart’s Requiem. The discoveries also shed light on the evolution of luminescence, adding to the number of known lineages in the fungi ‘family tree’ where luminescence has been reported. —http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091005123045.htm

    ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2009) — Giant rainforest trees, rare and beautiful orchids, spectacular palms, minute fungi, wild coffees and an ancient aquatic plant are among more than 250 new plant and fungi species discovered and described by botanists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in this, the botanical organisation’s 250th anniversary year. The new species come from a wide-range of fascinating locations including Brazil, Cameroon, East Africa, Madagascar, Borneo and New Guinea. Nearly a third are believed to be in danger of extinction. —http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091222104903.htm

    “A new species of rust fungus, Maravalia perae on Pera sp. (Euphorbiaceae), from Brazil is proposed. Spermogonia are type 5 and aeciospores and urediniospores are asymetrically obovoid to ellipsoid, with a concave side and 3(–4) equatorial germ pores. Teliospore walls are 2–5 µm thick at apex around the apical germ pore. This set of characters differentiates M. perae from other species of Maravalia. A revised key to all known Maravalia species, including the newly discribed species, is provided.
    Key words: Euphorbiaceae, pathogen, rust fungi, Uredinales —http://www.mycologia.org/cgi/content/abstract/101/2/239

  • B&B is for BLOOM and BURST: Psychoactive Mushroom Economics.

    Originally titled “WORD PIECE” i wrote this JULY 17’th, 2008 in Amsterdam, Netherlands after my friend Bogus Magus turned me onto the video “6 ways mushrooms can save the planet” by Paul Stamets. Like many other things i write, this “mushroom banking” article lay dormant in my laptop. So now due to the increased interest in BANKING, ECONOMICS and CREDIT i now present the article, with some re-writing and editing as BLOOM and BURST. (BOOM & BUST of mycelium entities)

    This, lay readers and gentilemen, is perhaps the commonest
    of all cases arising out of umbrella history in connection with the wood industries in our courts of litigation. D’Oyly Owens
    holds (though Finn Magnusson of himself holds also) that so
    long as there is a joint deposit account in the two names a
    mutual obligation is posited. –FW, Page 575

    Your words our words and their words of air-sound-sutra. Binding air-sound-power patterns. Why is money? and how did it get that way? who issues it and how? A coin for a cow? Paper for Gold. Silver? Our money > their money overnight. Who has the magic wands, and is fond of the funds? Who has the rite words and the rote blank cheque? Disorder of things and stuff, multi-ordinal terms fed like helpless worms to herds of hungry birds of pray, each day feeding after the rain storm.

    Where is the source, the root and the well spring of your knowledge, our Nohledge and their Scholledge? Who issues it and how? What is a cash cow? Money exchanged for words. Language and economics cow-MING-LING. Money does not grow on trees, psychoactive mushrooms do grow on trees. The bees bring honey to each branch though. the Branch hanging over the bank, the river bank and its dependency on the moon goddess via her rising and falling water levels, bursting and then blooming river banks. In 2008 a river BANK maybe the only Bank you can trust.


    Owens cites Brerfuchs and Warren,
    a foreign firm, since disseized, registered as Tangos, Limited,
    for the sale of certain proprietary articles. The action which was
    at the instance of the trustee of the heathen church emergency
    fund, suing by its trustee, a resigned civil servant, for the
    payment of tithes due was heard by Judge Doyle and also by a
    common jury. No question arose as to the debt for which vouchers
    spoke volumes. –James Joyce, FW, Page 575.

    And the underground fungi decomposes rotten money theory anyway, a natural fungi force consumes carbon dioxide and releases carbon monoxide. More valuable than cash? A KNU natural economic order will start with mycelium a as the ceiling limit of the fizzcool roots, and financial fibers that, maybe, in the buginning fed all the MONEY TREES. Feeding trees with funky nutrients using the process of decomposition, using calcium and lots of other magic biology.

    The truly regenerative and maximum GREEN interests inherent in the fungal feeding of the planetary and inter-planetary bio-sphere make most but not all forms of banking and international financial doo-doings on this planet seem deceptive at best and damned sadistic and apocalyptic at their worst. Now we have the means to communicate more scientifically how and why mycelium networks have spread themselves throughout planet earths biosphere so we can tackle the problems related to fungal-economics (which for me fits in well with the Animal and Plant kingdoms propensity for doing more with less and maximizing their biological connectivity, collective output to the benefit of all. No dropping, carcass, seed or shell goes to waste. The whole biological world recycles itself as in a regenerative Universe, its energy freely flows between species and kingdoms).

    The fund trustee, one Jucundus Fecundus Xero
    Pecundus Coppercheap, counterclaimed that payment was invalid
    having been tendered to creditor under cover of a crossed cheque,
    signed in the ordinary course, in the name of Wieldhelm, Hurls
    Cross, voucher copy provided, and drawn by the senior partner
    only by whom the lodgment of the species had been effected but
    in their joint names. –James Joyce, FW, Page 575.

    Human Banking beings however seem to have a new propensity for hoarding life support to their own gene pool. Life support resources in all their forms are stolen and kept for a few special chosen people or a few International syndicates who claim divine banker child status. Hoarding at the expense of the many–the Majority of humanity on planet earth. And hoarding in contrast to the natural abundance of nature, omnidirectional distribution, maximal connectivity, cooperative banking on change and transformation of states. (Taoist economics?)

    The rather simplistic idea of imitating natural systems and natures means of distribution very generally, and then abstracting these general principles to human Economic systems remains a simply floored ideology. The classic Garbage IN/Garbage OUT law springs to mind. And the GREEN economic fungal metaphor of BLOOM and BURST maybe the most eloquent and beautiful metaphor to employ in 2008, pitched against Unrestricted Global Capitalism driven by private interest and crooked double crossed intelligence tsars. (Since writing this passage, Unrestricted Global Capitalism in its most virulent form of unrestricted American Capitalism has rapidly decayed worldwide started by the housing mortgage securities market over estimating how much virtual horse-shit they can shovel at one time).

    Depreciating currency imitates the fungal process of breaking down biological matter, making more room at the bottom by recycling, transforming and keeping the processes moving along. If you stay in one place too long with your savings (chemical compound interest) you will rot at the bottom of the pile, without jumping into a new state of energy by the magical trans-formative process. See transmutation, Holy Communion and the U.S Federal Bank of England.

    The bank particularised, the national misery
    (now almost entirely in the hands of the four chief bondholders
    for value in Tangos), declined to pay the draft, though there
    were ample reserves to meet the liability, whereupon the trusty
    Coppercheap negociated it for and on behalf of the fund of the
    thing to a client of his, a notary, from whom, on consideration, he
    received in exchange legal relief as between trusthee and bethrust,
    with thanks. –James Joyce, FW, Page 575.

    The deception and trickery of the global banking fraudster gamers is also mimicked, on a global scale within fungal communities. BOOM and then DECAY. BLOOM and decomposition In fact mushroom mycelium provide nutrients for germination of most vegetation matter and some very rare Orchids; like the ones that so many Banksters are infatuated with. Penicillin and most of its synthesized drug relatives is another FUNGAL entity, claimed patented and exploited as a Global Pharmo-corp’ dream-drug. In its well known Penicillin incarnation FUNGAL intelligence has already penetrated the MONEY MAZE. Not to mention all the other medical applications and drugs synthesized from mushrooms and/or Fungal bacterium found in nature, while our melting leaders tighten restrictions on the source MUSHROOMS of the healing psychoactive varieties around the world in 2008.

    But the poet with honey his mouth does not stop at that. Mushrooms and fungus being used as metaphors for a more synergetic human financial intelligence is just the sprouting TIP! of the underground fruiting body of evidence, spilling billions of its viral meme spores into earths atmosphere every second of every day for a billion years. There mush more to come.

    Once the poet has sharpened his gaze, and the haze of terrestrial primate politics and economics vanishes in the life-mazing puzzle views, we can begin to revision our future, past present and perfect days, all-at-once. A galactic Fungal Languaging Entity. (FLE) A self-replicating fungal blogjects through me. A new solid banking practice has come–nourishing the sheep with the farmers profits, so that they grow strong, intelligent and have happy lives. Bah naught.

    Since then the cheque, a good washable pink,
    embossed D you D No 11 hundred and thirty 2, good for the figure
    and face, had been circulating in the country for over thirtynine
    years among holders of Pango stock, a rival concern, though not
    one demonetised farthing had ever spun or fluctuated across the
    counter in the semblance of hard coin or liquid cash. The jury (a
    sour dozen of stout fellows all of whom were curiously named
    after doyles) naturally disagreed jointly and severally, and the
    belligerent judge, disagreeing with the allied jurors’
    disagreement, went outside his jurisfiction altogether and ordered a
    garnishee attachment to the neutral firm. –James Joyce, FW, Page 575.

    Our collective cultural symbol systems, yours, theirs? Who issues languages and how? How did language get that way. This way to the museyroom. The trick to solid banking is to nourish the people on their children’s corpses, so they Wall street vampires say. Who would have thought that when you open a bank account they might take your son or daughter off to a foreign country to defend their elaborate symbolic betting shop?

    discounted Mr Brakeforth’s first of all in
    exchange at nine months from date without issue and, to be strictly
    literal, unbottled in corrubberation a current account of how
    she had been made at sight for services rendered the
    payeedrawee of unwashable blank assignations, sometimes pinkwilliams
    (laughter)— James Joyce, FW, Page 576.

    REALITY? who issues it and how? J.P Perky Pat Morgan Skysoft? David Attenborough. The Pope? The Forrest’s and fields and mountains and wild mushroom rich terrain of earth? The Oxford English Dictionary? Finnegans Wake? well, I banked with Dr. Robert Anton Wilson while he was incarnated here on planet Earth. Bob’s high interest rates, tragic/comic balance sheets and compassionate magic made his “Bank Of Maybe” (BOM) the model for a new, timeless, immortal banking practice. A Bank without savings. A bank with total investment in each moment, and a bank with the rare and brilliant promise to give away treasures and valuable stocks to strangers for free, in the interests of imitating natures banking practices and its maximal distribution of energy and information as defined by Buckminster Fuller and Claude Shannon respectively. The BOM even has some RAW PATATOES to show that we mean business.

    jock and jarry in that little green courtinghousie for her
    satisfaction and as a whole act of settlement to reamalgamate herself,
    tomorrow perforce, in pardonership with the permanent suing fond
    trustee, Monsignore Pepigi, under the new style of Will
    Breakfast and Sparrem, as, when all his cognisances had been estreated,
    he seemed to proffer the steadiest interest towards her, but this
    prepoposal was ruled out on appeal by Judge Jeremy Doyler, who,
    reserving judgment in a matter of courts and reversing the
    findings of the lower correctional, found, beyond doubt of treuson,
    fending the dissassents of the pickpackpanel, twelve as upright
    judaces as ever let down their thoms, and, occupante extremum –James Joyce, FW, Page 576.

    The Jury is still out on Finnegans Wake.
    How about the worlds economic financial crash? WHO’s ON TRIAL? Whats the CHARGE?

  • PKD is for Philip. K. Dick: The Crazy Wisdom of Phillip K. Dick

    The Crazy Wisdom of Phillip K. Dick @ Maybelogic Academy

    How was the Crazy Wisdom Of Philip K. Dick MLA class?

    By Fly

    I had a joyful few weeks reading Philip K. Dick and also reading and writing with other people about Philip K. Dick, his books and inspired movies.

    You can get much of the specific info about the course at the maybe logic academy, and if you’re interested can follow your nose on the web as there are many brilliant blogs, web sites and essays about everythingPKD.

    To conserve a bit of time and space, I’ll just throw down my own condensed notes from the early part of the course when we were reading “The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch” (TTSOPE)

    It’s their futures, not ours. NOT Mine.
    Sguysoft and Rupert Gates and Perky Pat Layouts. Gangsters.
    Bank Vaults of perception locked in the interests of National security.
    SguysoftwareAmazoogleMonsantesco Mart

    How often are the worlds of our lives like a Perky Pat Layout?”

    PKD keeps us all sane, by writing the irrational with love.
    The Nag Hammadi text seem to act as a kind of ancient tech-support system for V.A.L.I.S and so then, his other works too it seems?
    Panspermia, inter-species communication, synthetic indicties, intelligent lichen. Corporate Gangsterism. Greed and excess.


    PKD “Inspiring big enough Dreams to swallow back GOD hole.”
    At the same time transubstantiation introduced by Can-D.
    P K. Dick, Norbet Wiener and King Kong?
    Feedback loops and cybernetics.
    Man and machine languages.

    Mathmatical theory of communication and Claude Shannon.

    4.62 Grables,

    1.46 Wagners

    16 selkirks

    8 Freuds of stress.

    4 Truffle Skins

    PKD Truffle skins; depreciating currency.
    With advanced genetic security.
    Cybernetic agents, chemical agents.
    At the same time
    Cybernetic subjectivity “paradox”.

    Aboard his ship Eldritch had-still has-a carefully maintained culture of a lichen very much resembling the Titanian lichen from which Can-D is derived. – PKD, TTSOPE, Pg. 17

    Panspermia and other sosmo-spore-bio-matter theories seem to be getting more legitimate, more better researched and communicated in 2008. Plus we have new information about conditions for the growth of lichen on Titan in 2008.

    Two faced feature-objects. Blogjects.
    At the same time…

    “Palmer Eldritch was too wild and dazzling a solo pro; he had accomplished miracles in getting autofac production started on the colony planets, but – as always he had gone too far, schemed too much. Consumer goods had piled up in unlikely places where no colonists existed to make use of them. Mountains of debris, they had become, – PKD, TTSOPE, Pg 13.


    –Reflects on our current 2007 machine-human consumer interface. The FREE market or “Genghis Khan” economy. Who eats who? The empire never ended.

    That Can-D,” he said to miss Jurgens, “Is great stuff, and no wonder its banned, Its like religion; Can-D is the religion of the colonists.” He chuckled. – PKD, TTSOPE Pg 24.

    –Can-D in this context seems to reflect the drug problem on planet earth.

    Products, autofaq’d. If a faq’d up Disney-fied” or “Dell-fied” “Mc Coked” and “Addi-Niked” resulting in a Dickian feeling that the environment surrounding you is engineered and broadcast by a kind of PKD Pre-fash consultancy agency, on most sophisticated “High Streets” a pharmaceutical cartel and maybe a Telecommunications giant robot too.

    He recalled the day his L-P record collection had fused together in a lump, back around 04′, due to momentary failure in the building’s cooling network. – PKD, pg 8. TTSOPE

    This “fusion” has happened to me too once
    I was in a car when my LP’s were left exposed to sunlight and they Became shaped like flower pots, wavy vinyl flowers pots, and when i
    Tried to play them the sound was warped too.

    Consciousness. Continuity of process.
    Technological artefacts – and parameters of subjectivity.
    Evereywhere without a hero?
    Its their futures, not our’s. At the same time.

    PKD and his phalanx of charcters seem determined to drag us all with them into their future. I get the feeling they flow backwards too though.

    PKD everyware.

    “You precogs.” remarkable. maybe there were alternate futures. “So you want me to order her in the future always to back you up?” Leo’ – PKD, PKD, TTSOPE pg. 19.

    Constructing a better future by ordering the robot gods,
    blogjects, self-fabricating objects, universal nano-constructors to construct it, Or keep the ubiquitous tech-support system running the kind of reality reality you desire, or can imagine at the same time. What show do you want to tune into, what pharma corp, news media or hell?

    PKD, Pound, Burroughs, Dali, Joyce and Bob, are all very precise and careful writers, masters, iconoclasts, super-geniuses! of the word sign symbol worlds. Reaching Beyond language.

    A unique unique talent by which they can relay their messages from
    Occulted places and rebound them back to us the reader, through utilizing: Multiple Points Of View, Epiphany, Ideogramic Method, Critical paranoia, Holographic prose.
    Consciousness- continuity of process.

    All these various languaging tools help us readers and co-creators to see and perceive better, more synergistically, If we can have a little patience and compassion for their messages lingering all around us. Let em’ come down. At the same time.

    I say: Read the work of Philip K. Dick in groups. Talk and tell tales, watch the movies and make comparisons. Smoke a joint.

    Erik Davis proved the perfect leader for this class, his high energy input and vast experience as a PKD scholar and technologist made a fun-packed experience for all the good folks on the course. The new Podcasting tools enhance the experience greatly as its always nice to hear a human voice.

  • MCC is for Mushrooms and Climate Change.

    After reading a little of the new Stern report about Global climate change and proposed new Green Taxes i remembered the theme of my Spring essay for the magazine Maybelogic Quarterly: Mycoremediation. ALIGHT MATTER by Fly agaric 23

    Governments will ignore the medicinal, environmental, and social benefits of mushrooms at their peril.

    I hope that somebody will read this book and help get this mycoremediation revolution going, running.

    Thankyou Paul Stamets for taking mushrooms and their properties very seriously and unleashing the science fiction therein.

    If you are in the UK i rekon that picking some Liberty caps and settling down somewhere comfortable to contemplate global mycoremdiation and the potential to tackle global Climate change with mushrooms. This might be the most important question for mankind, or it could make you laugh and smile a bit?
