I am reading "The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins" by Anna Tsing which I discovered in an English bookstore nearby. Matsutake and truffles are both among the world's most expensive fungi, but they differ in habitat, flavor, and culinary use. While truffles are considered the "diamonds of the kitchen" in European cuisine for their deep and delicious aroma, matsutake are revered in Japan for their highly distinct, intense flavor and aroma often described as a mix of spicy cinnamon and pine.

#Funghi take over the role of recycling companies in nature. They recycle the waste products of living beings and turn them into valuable resources for other biological life forms. Those recycling machines seem to form the foundation of the #ecosystem - and they should form the foundation of a sustainable post-capitalist #economy as well.

Gerade eben habe ich mir etwas leckeres gekocht.
Pasta mit selbst gezüchteten #Austernseitlingen.

Ich liebe diesen #Pilz er schmeckt herrlich nach Kalbfleisch und ist einfach selber zu züchten.

Damit könnte man wahrscheinlich sogar das #Klima retten und vielleicht auch den #Welthunger stillen.

#Gesund sind die nach Anis duftenden Stauden... as fuck.

Una batteria che non si ricarica: si nutre. Acqua, zucchero e due specie di funghi stampati in 3D dentro un inchiostro di cellulosa. Produce energia per giorni, poi diventa compost nel giro di tre settimane. Non alimenterà il nostro smartphone, ma potrebbe cambiare il modo in cui monitoriamo campi e foreste. L'EMPA svizzero l'ha già fatta funzionare.
