been hankerin for this lovely short treatise on fungi since i heard about it.. featuring bjork and merlin sheldrake. i find merlin much more palatable that rupert, i read his book and it had very little fanciful speculation compared with rupert sheldrake who merges science and spirituality, i feel that merlin is more scientistic, in a good way. And i dont really mean to disparage rupert, what a childhood merlin and siblings must have had! but it is so interesting seeing him come up after having such a significant father and going more sciency. similar to hamilton morris in a way, and perhaps dennis mckenna. this sensitive media adjacent new wave intelligentsia of the west
