I don't mind mushrooms on a pizza, or chopped up raw in a salad, but if I eat too many they really give my guts hell.
Perhaps your guts know more than we did.
Magic Mushrooms 'Trip' Your Brain Out of Sync For Weeks
A study led by Washington University School of Medicine psychiatrist Joshua Siegel tracked brain changes in seven healthy adults before, during, and after taking a high dose of psilocybin, identifying disruptions in connectivity that persisted for weeks in some areas of the brain.

Actually I wanted to post this in
'our'
mushroom thread last year.
But only found the one with Jesus
β, not the one with
'your'
Merlin Sheldrake.
Well, the boars are
Entangled Life
too.

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross!
Have you read it? It's quite astounding.
You always have such interesting info!
Yep, I did read Mr. Allegroβ¦after that felt dizzy, without mushrooms. π₯΄
A great book with much academic language, many cross-references and historical explanations that actually make sense. Fortunately today there's the Internet.
The best info about mushrooms came from you (Merlin Sheldrake).
His
Entangled Life
is on my list. βββ -

Chernobyl Created the World's Rarest Dogs
"The cities surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant were forced to abandon their pets during the worldβs worst nuclear disaster. Today, a population of incredible, radioactive dogs need your help. The dogs of Chernobyl receive NO medical care outside of what CFF brings to them, and you can be a part of that care."
Guten Morgen!

That video leaves you with a lot to think about.
Amazing, wonderful dogs, but the cats didn't do as well.
Well, cats
and
dogs struggle for their lives there.
Of course other animals too.
As said in the video, they didn't meet any dog older than 5 years.
Most of the dogs aren't older than 1-3 years.
No food and no vetβ¦even without radiation that shortens a pet's life immensely.
In one older video they said that cats don't grow up around Chernobyl.
In this video (4 years old) the cat looks like an adult.
And given the circumstances pretty goodβ¦I think.
But true, one good looking cat means nothing.
Hmmm, perhaps I'll make a longer
'research'
later.

After the polling stations are closed on Sunday (European election).
Against all oddsβ¦
Have a nice evening and happy weekend!

I get a hollow feeling in my gut seeing that ghost town, but it makes you realise that if humans disappeared from the Earth, nature in all its forms would take over very quickly.
I still have 7 chrysalises waiting to become butterflies and it's nearly at the shortest day, so not doing too badly!
Happy weekend to you too! -

It's difficult to find reliable info about Chernobyl's cats, but they do exist!
Clean Futures Fund
CFF (who created the dogs video above) estimates ca. 100 cats roam around.
https://www.cleanfutures.org/dogs-of-chernobyl/
No surprise that these cats are very shy, they don't want to become dog and wolf food.
β
Kittens without contact to people while they grew up, often have trust issues as adults too.
Trap-Neuter-and-Release-actions
don't make them people-friendly either.
How to count the cats there?!

This docu 2007 was uploaded 2021.
Worth watching, some great pictures and confirms what you already said:

It also includes a cute story of a cat family with a kind of happy ending.

Otherwise they'll be sent to Chernobyl. -

They discovered some fungus around the Chernobyl area which manages to convert gamma radiation into an equivalent to solar radiation and it absorbs some of the more deadly stuff in the area.
It's still unknown how it came to be or how effective it will be in cleaning up the area to make it habitable again but it's going in the right direction.
Perhaps nature, cats and all, can all be part of the cleansing element which gets things going back to 'normal' again

Link? (fungus)
As explained in the OP's video, the area recovers even without that particular fungus.
Due to the long half-life of the radioactive elementsβ¦it just takes much time.
And because the entire ecosystem is complex (e.g. Wild Boar Paradox). -

It's quite a popular scientific piece these days and so reading somewhere which
translates it into an easy accessible friendly form
is probably best Tara.
The alpha and beta radiation will always be a problem (Well beyond our lifetimes at least) but the gamma being absorbed is good because that really doesn't stop much for barriers like air or concrete and can travel like light in a straight direction irradiating everything in its widening, yet softening, path.
If the gamma gets soaked up then the alpha and beta radiation emitters can be boxed up and kept away from biological entities until it eventually runs tame.
And as you'll see from the article this fungus could be useful to gamma radiation from the sun whilst travelling in space or living on Mars.
Every cloud has a silver lining, even a nuclear mushroom cloud it seems

Thanks for the link.
I'm able to read the article, you don't need to explain it to me, Juanita.
β
And as said in that article, the fungus absorbs the radiation.
It doesn't turn it into "
an equivalent to solar radiation"
as you said before.
THAT
would've been really interesting, because that could've made the fungus a radioactivity absorbing and also a
'solar engergy module'

Thanks for the link.
You are welcome

Ah, OK
It doesn't turn it into "an equivalent to solar radiation" as you said before.
Ermβ¦
THAT would've been really interesting, because that could've made the fungus a radioactivity absorbing and also 'solar energy module'.
OK, so you don't know what photonic emission is and how everything in the electromagnetic spectrum is comprised of it
I take it then that the first law of thermodynamics is probably beyond you too
Ah well, I tried being nice but that's clearly not something you are used to from me.
Won't happen again!
Pip pip!

Nice videos! I haven't watched the last one yet, but I noticed in the one where the cats were feeding that there was no fighting for the food and they shared what they had with each other without contention. Considering how tough their lives are, and how hungry they must be, I think that is worth taking note of.
