Funguary Day 23: Fairy Ring Mushroom

Different countries across Europe have varying folklore and myths about fairy rings

English+Celtic: In English and Celtic folklore fairy rings were created by fairies and elves dancing in a circle. It was said that if humans joined in the dance the fairies would punish them, and make them dance in the circle until they passed out from exhaustion

German: Things in German folklore took a more sinister turn as fairy rings were actually known as witches rings. It was believed that they were a place where witches would dance on Walpurgis night, a spring celebration six months before halloween 

Austrian: It was said that fairy rings were created when dragons burned them into the forest floor with their fiery tails 

There are many more myths about fairy rings, from being portals to other worlds, to being used as dinner tables for fairies, to being good luck and a sign of a fairy village underground.

Fun fact, there are mushrooms living in your lungs right now!

Humans breathe anywhere from 500 to 100,000 spores daily depending on local environmental conditions. The fungi have a variety of ways to survive the immune response of the human body. Most are harmless and either die or do nothing at all. However, some fungi spores inhaled are possible pathogens or cause respiratory issues, and others are essential to a healthy microbiome .

So, if you’re breathing right now, just know that there's spores in that air, and your lungs are a nice cozy environment for them :)

Ancient China and Japan commonly used the Turkey Tail mushroom in healing in medicine. In modern day medicine the use of Polysaccharide-K, extracted from T. versicolor, is considered safe for use as a cancer treatment in conjunction with other cancer treatments. PSK has been studied in clinical research for various cancer and immune deficiencies but as of 2022 its effectiveness remains inconclusive.

Funguary Day 25: Trumpet of Death

“Trumpet of death” is actually a misleading name, as these mushrooms are highly sought after for being edible. They are also known as “horn of plenty” and can be found in autumn. They do, however, have several poisonous lookalikes.
