    Fun fact about mycorrhizal fungi, they connect similar trees through their fungal network, not only sharing nutrients between tree and fungi, but from tree to tree through the fungal network. Older trees will have more branching connections to other trees, making them important to forests. In historical literature and mythology, they're often referred to as a mother tree.

      I actually made medicine from it this year and gave it to my mom who has some bad chronic hip pain and it helps her get comfortable enough to sleep when the pain won't let her.
      (Obviously i was extremely careful to only harvest a little and not damage the root system bc of its tenuous ecosystem nature, and i have a tribal gathering license to gather medicines)
      But yeah it's a weird sensation (I've taken it myself before for a migraine)--it doesn't work like normal pain relief. Other methods work by blocking the pain receptors, ynow? Akiwenziimaawi (the name for it in our language) has this weird effect where it kinda sets you beside the pain mentally, so you can still feel it but you're sorta disconnected from it so it's less debilitating. Hence why some people also use it for intense anxiety & PTSD--bc of that "distancing" effect. If I had to describe it, I'd say take that comfy cocoon feeling from a marijuana high and cross it with the "outside your body" feeling of dissociation.

    As someone who was born and raised in the Northeast I'd love to hear a story done on a "Jack in the Pulpit"! When I was growing up in Vermont my PE teacher used to take out us kids and go on nature walks. Our school was semi located in a forest so at some point during the schools foundation I'm unaware of they made this very long and extravagant nature trail that is only supposed to be used by my school. One day when we were on a hike our PE teacher recognized a protected plant under Vermont's wildlife law. At the time they were experiencing over poaching and so like the California poppy, it became illegal to cut or transport them. But, since it was growing on private property owned by the state/school, r p e teacher got to show us up close and personal the plant, how it feeds, why it's indigenous to the area, how it's endangered, and a bit more. She then allowed us to individually look at the "flower" and see the little thing sticking up in the middle of it. It was really cool because then when I was at home and ran off into the forest like I did often as a kid for fun I saw one in the wild and I knew to keep my distance from it and make sure that I wasn't going to hurt it in any way.

      I have several Jack in the Pulpit plants in my shade garden. They were going to be ploughed under to widen a road, so I researched them, dug them up with lots of their native soil, and stuck them in my safe garden. They’ve prospered and definitely multiplied. And the pulpits are enormous now. I teach the neighbourhood kids about the importance of wild flowers and native plants when they visit my dog … not me, the dog! … and the kids love the science they get out of the visit!

    I keep track of where these pop up (and other relatives) in my forest because they have hooked I to the local chantrelle population.

    "Perturbantes quod infernum" = Latin for "Creepy as hell" (according to Google translate). Though I suspect someone with a proper understanding of the language could give a better translation.

    We had some of these in my University’s woods last year! I actually press dried them, they are now pink and black and yellow and definitely my favorite specimen to date! I’m hoping we have some more this year so I can try and make a tincture!

      If harvesting these, please take care to not damage the roots and to only take one or two from a bunch to make sure they can continue reproducing!

    Neat that there's a plant which parasitizes fungi. I can see this developing over time; variations in the amount of chlorophyll didn't matter as the fungi had enough energy from other plants, so this species kept saving energy by producing less & less of its own. Or a mutation took it out suddenly & its connection to the fungi allowed it to survive. I'm sure a genetic study could answer this.

  • @Iwatch2019cartoonsobsessively

    Oh yeah, I see these things all the time when I go into the woods during summer. I don’t yank them out because I don’t wanna disrupt the balance of nature, though I really wish I could. But they play a vital part in our ecosystem

    I want a Ghost/Grass type Pokemon based off of this that creeps up on unsuspecting Shroomish and sucks away their vitality. It could have aspects of a white lady and maybe even a hopping ghost.

    I'd love to hear Floralogic's take on the plants in the Voynich Manuscript. I know everyone wants to read the text, but I'm curious to know a plant expert's opinion on the drawings.

    Our property is covered with these it's crazy, at least a 100! I just noticed them this year. On top of that on the opposite side of the property, I hit the mother load of morels about 300. I have this feeling this area use to be Indian land.
