Interesting, though a little too much science for my brain tonight :). I might come back to it tomorrow when I don't feel so brain dead. I did not know any of these things, really, including that fungi were the first organisms to come to our planet ... so cool.

Hi Juliana,

You know what else is cool? I've read that the Chinese actually consider the reishi mushroom to be some kind of expression of divinity, and it's supposed to be an extremely efficacious herb on several levels. I'm interested to find a bit and play.

That is cool. I've heard about this, I think. Let me know how it turns out :). It's amazing, the powers these small plants and fungi and herbs and such have .... I'm sure you're all too aware of how miraculous nature is.
