Psilocybin : Mycelial Time vs. Human Time
Welcome to Fungal Democracy 101. Class is now in session, 24/7

What if the solution to our climate crisis isn't found in boardrooms or laboratores, but in the silent democracy happening beneath your feet right now?

Picture this: while you rush through another deadline, checking your phone for the hundredth time today, an ancient parliament convenes in the darkness below.

No votes are cast.

No speeches made.

Resources flow easily to where they are needed. A dying oak sends its last nutrients to a struggling sapling. A Douglas fir alerts its neighbors to an approaching pest. A “mother” tree feeds its young through underground networks that make our internet look primitive

This is metabolic democracy in action.
