^Exactly. Amusingly, the playing piece for Strax won't fit together very well, so when we move him around, he falls apart easily.

It looks like bread. 8O

Whenever I see mushrooms growing, it gives me the urge to kick them. It is fun to kick over mushrooms.

Especially on rainy days, when there are lots of them. :mrgreen:

Those mushrooms are called "steinsopp" in Norwegian. Directly translated it means "rock mushroom" it's apparently because when seen from above they can resemble a rock :) Looks a lot lite bread too, or a bun

Once one has been properly introduced, enthusiasm for fungi becomes without limit.

I've been learning recently about mycologists re-purposing some fungi as primary decomposers of PLASTIC of all things in landfills.

And here I was thinking we'd be needing robots! :lol:

^Yes that sounds like a better solution to use the bacteria instead, or the enzymes inside the bacteria.

I'm glad the trash problem finally almost seems easy.

On another note, online cynicism this week has been DEVASTATING to people I love - who love me. I just love them more now. Nobody else online knows them or much less me, nevertheless they're all about ripping agreements in half in light of their own spotty personal histories. Stop slapping Facebook buttons all over each other, everybody.

Everyone thought I was disappearing into a world of global electronics conglomerates & dirty money. People thought I was just caving to professional pressure thru my family. I am not.
