I was just cutting mushrooms and thinking about Terence McKenna’s hypothesis that, since spores can survive in the vacuum of space, perhaps mushrooms (specifically those containing psilocybin) came to us from an advanced intelligence that communicates with us via their ingestion. A heroic dose might even lead one to ponder the plausibility of that theory… but, who the hell can say for sure, really?

I’m just amused by slicing them down the center of the stipe. They kind of look like a stoned alien.
