Spent the early hours of the morning searching up Japanese fiction to buy for my Daughter as a Christmas present as she has an affinity for Japan, found myself intrigued and ended up downloading a load for kindle & ordering 2 Haruki Murakami books for myself. I did get her a couple though. 😂

Modern stress hits us nonstop, unlike rare ancestral dangers. Our sympathetic nervous system stays switched on, while the parasympathetic struggles to calm us. Practices like forest bathing/meditation help restore balance no need to think of it as spiritual woo, to treat it as relaxation is enough.
Humans are evolved for nature, not cities, say anthropologists
A new paper by evolutionary anthropologists Colin Shaw (University of Zurich) and Daniel Longman (Loughborough University) argues that modern life has outpaced human evolution. The study suggests that...

Just finished the final episode of Empire with David Olusoga, a solid, eye opening & human documentary on the British Empire’s rise and fall, showing both the achievements and the brutal realities of the history that a hell of a lot of us share. Essential viewing.

🎵 "They call me mellow yellow" 🎵
"Yellow Brain" (Tremella mesenterica)
a parasitic jelly fungus that feeds on fungi that feed on dead wood. Either that or it's lookalike Golden Ear (Tremella aurantia) which is also parasitic so I am reading. Can't see any evidence of what it is feeding on.

Really like the look of this Mushroom with it's spikes and fibre-like cap. I think it's "Old Man Of The Woods" but can't find any similar photos online with this tan shade so please correct me if wrong.

Shivas wedding must have been a blast! Ghouls, ghosts, demons, social outcasts, as well as Brahma, Vishnu, the Devas and sages. Absolute inclusivity. Parvati's folks needed to just chill.

"Where Aruna becomes Achala is Arunachala. Aruna is another name for Shakti. Shakti means the Manifest Reality. Where does manifestation (moving) become unmoving or still? In Unmanifest Absolute Reality. That is Arunachala, the Unmanifest absolute, which is the Supreme Self of all."

So strange, it looks like a gloop of solidified liquid metal stuck to a tree.
This is the most unusual Slime Mold I have ever came across. I needed assistance in identifying it and the verdict was it is a False Puffball Slime Mold. The color is so shiny and unnatural I actually smelled it to make sure it wasn't painted. #Hedgewatch #slimemold #fungi

Found these at the bottom of a tree. Initially thought they were insect eggs but on closer inspection they're slime molds (possibly Leocarpus fragilis) but don't quote me on that.
