Sharing info on mushrooms/mycelium
June 12, 2009 – 12:15 am
The mycelium infuses all landscapes, it holds soils together, it’s extremely tenacious. This holds up to 30,000 times its mass. They’re the grand molecular disassemblers of nature — the soil magicians. They generate the humus soils across the land masses of Earth.

February 18, 2009 – 2:43 pm
“Look, I’m not proud of how I made my money; the carbon footprint aside, fashion is one of the most intellectually vacuous industries. We had to manufacture desires to get people to buy our products. We were selling people countless things that they didn’t need. It set the agenda for the other multinationals that shift [...]
