It's Friday. Such a familiar situation, that again I have no pictures of mushrooms. It's not that I had a lot of walks these days and that I could even go mushroom hunting. So I can't complain, it's my fault, that I don't have my contribution for this Friday and this challenge. But, since #FungiFriday is not exclusively intended for photos, but also other forms of content related to mushrooms, we will come up with something. Do you want to join me in this task? It would be appreciated because we will have to be creative to get a post without pictures... Any idea? Maybe some replacement is possible? Music or strange composers? {silencio para pensar en mi cabeza}. I think that's today's path I should take.
Meditative and calm music for the introduction of this post...
So, some time ago I stumbled upon a video of a Czechoslovakian composer Vaclav Halek. He was a huge mushroom lover and dedicated a part of his life to mushrooms. Well, for writing music that mushrooms were whispering to him. Can you believe it? I didnt know mushrooms can make music, although there are some proofs that it can be heard... sort of that... if they go to the right hands and get a music production treatment.
Even John Cage was a mushroom lover and despite od being just an amateur mycologist, he co-founded the New York Mycological Society. He has a so close encounter with mushrooms that it almost led him to death. By a mistake, he ingested poisonous hellebore and he would die, just the fast treatment in the hospital saved his life. Some other composers were also inspired by mushrooms, but this Vaclav had the lead in the subject, I am pretty sure. He claimed that every mushroom has its own melody. 5907 compositions written for mushrooms (well, on the day the following videos was filmed)
Wow, he says other musicians were afraid of him and his musical abilities. I can confirm, he was or:
1. too weird, or
2. a musical genius.
His friends also thought he was crazy, he claimed, when in one walk in Prague he started to hear the music coming from a mushroom. He wanted to write it down immediately, as he was hearing it. That night, when he arrived home, he wrote a whole Symphony. But, I like to hear those short musical pieces, from the tiny mushrooms that were singing to him their tune. This piece, Chalciporus piperatus, is just 28 seconds but brings some hair-raising feelings:
Hygrophorus poetarum is a bit more uplifting and optimistic, absolutely inviting to go outside, somewhere in the woods and try to find some mushrooms for the next week's #FungiFriday post. As, if not I will have just to stay with the posts I have written for this event until now. Are you curious to see them all in one place, aren't you? :D In the case of a positive answer, here they come. The very first encounter with the mushrooms happened in the mountains, in December 2020. My second Fungi Friday post brought a special guest, a Happy Freddy called guy, with some eyes :) . The third contribution came from an orchard but in the next post dedicated to this Friday thingy, we were cooking a bit.
Some pause happened until I found the right mushrooms for the fifth contribution. My FungiFriday post number 6 was brought from different places, a golf course, forest and mountains had to provide the mushrooms for me.July and a different country were a blessing for the seventh post, and until October, we had to wait to find some more hidden, smiling specimens. In November, Witches visited the blockchain, actually The witch' hear, Clathrus rubber. Later, I heard also some singing mushrooms and they were the nicest couple I have ever seen... although it was a bit unbelievable story. The giant crying mushrooms required a tall person to take photos... or climb the fence, and finally, the last finding happened some two weeks ago.
Well, we will see when the next post, after this one can come. Don't know if luck will again allow me to take some fungi photos, until then does this post count as an entry, @ewkaw? :D
We can find out, by reading the guidelines of this challenge. Take note:
-when Friday comes post your own, original photo/drawing/art/food/anything-at-all of any type of fungi
-add #FungiFriday tag (it doesn't have to be your first tag)
-include My contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw anywhere in your post.
All good, I think, she said the word : anything-at-all ... so, here it came... This half strange post. However, if you really want to see something extra eccentric,and if you dare, click to the following title: The Mushroom Opera.
Well, I warned you.
wow... just wow...
that's some truly bizarre and marvelous stuff!
I've been saying though... the mycelial network interweaving space and time... no wonder some particularly sensitive weirdo con pick them up playing wonderous melodies to him!
Yes, pretty weird music and if you accidentally click on that last link, the mushroom opera, well that is indeed bizarre (maybe you already saw it)
You are absolutely right, they have their hidden from ordinary people mycelial network... this composer hacked it and got to listen to that music. What a breach... and, sharing it with the world was the last step :D
It was fun reading @mipiano you created a post without photos but showed us mushrooms that created music through composers. And gave us more info about mushroom lovers.
Have you seen/ heard this one Sounds from mushrooms
And Here
I saw a while ago and you made me remember it. It sounds so beautiful. 😊
Wow, absolutely beautiful what you have shared here. One of my links connects to a similar thing, but not so nice as it is your one. We can be surrounded by that pure nature in just one click. Thank you @littlebee4 :)
You are welcome @mipiano 😊 yes, it only takes one click… the info and knowledge we can gather is just vast and never ending.
And apart from that click the person who shared it with us (thanks one again) and time to be able to enjoy all the information :))
You will have some mushrooms today :) ?
You are welcome @mipiano 😉 happy to share and spend some time on here… the internet 🤓
Yes, writing my post and gathering photos as we speak.
👏👏👏 🥳
Done 😉😎
But of course it counts!!
And the music is so nice and calm...
Ohhh I see @littlebee4 dropped the video I saw a while ago with the sounds.
Here is another one :p
Huh, good..these challenges can be hard hahaha
Oh, so many singing mushrooms 😍
Btw, I have no clue, why these mushrooms are in an aquarium? Are they in kind of jail? @buffalobison, help is needed here too!!!
#FreeFrancine and these from the aquarium 😂
My guess is to provide the right environment with high humidity. The owner probably picked some branches and took it home to see them grow or keep longer for the music experiments.
But... it kinds of sounds ridiculous.. So the correct answer is: "they are in jail!"
Yep, we will ditch the rational answer and stick with the jail thing :D
You're thinking outside the box and it worked out well. These mushrooms are talkative you just need to listen 😀
Yay, I am glad you liked it :) Yes, we just need to listen, and even better we can understand when the sound comes already from those who translated the mushroom language into music :)
Wow! I never thought about... mushroom classic)) It interesting, amazing and fun)
Hahaha, yes, a bit unusual, right? Wanted to play some piece by that Czechoslovakian composer, but could find any printed music score online. I see he had everything in the manuscript form.
You like mushroom hunting too? but you make a different collection, I love to see your videos! :)
Yes, I like mushroom hunting too, but as we can see, no luck this week in real findings... just music :)
Mushrooms and music can be beautifully correlated, and it's amazing. Extraordinary @mipian
When I saw it for the first time, it was very strange, but yes, they played together now, music and mushrooms 🍄 🎶
You are always shining dear, the pictures of mushrooms in the video are very cool👍 greetings from Morocco
Thank you, I came up with this format of the post today, no real mushrooms around this week.
Greetings to Morocco :))
The mushroom composer is an interesting character. I wish mushrooms sang for me and I could hear their music. That would be cool. I don't know if I would go around telling people though. Lol
Mega LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, these composers certainly told through their music they heard them....and were called crazy hahhaha. Dont know if you opened some of the links I left in the text, connecting to my older mushroom posts. There was one post, when my story went about singing and talking mushrooms 😂 oh, maybe you have read it, it was some month or two ago, but anyway here it is. I am still laughing to that one 😂
I could see how mushrooms would make for some great music.
Yes each mushroom has a story to tell. The old woman in the elegant hat would go on forever with hers ;)
Oh, you remember the old elegant lady 👒
Hope you can find some of them so you can join the fun here in FungiFriday event :)))
Creative post. It turns out that mushrooms can be not only a part of visual or culinary art, but also musical. Stunning compositions inspired by the music of mushrooms. It was very interesting to learn about it, thanks for sharing!
How nicely said, that mushrooms are not just part of visual or culinary art!! Like this phrase from you!! Yes, seems that they found their way into music, and composers dedicated time and talent to them. Actually, those composers brought their sound, according to the talent and imagination of each one. 🎶
I agree, the talent of each composer is unique. The uniqueness of talent is that everyone can see the same "picture" in different ways and interpret it in accordance with their worldview. Well, this is just my opinion :) thanks!
Quiero decir que admiro tu capacidad no solo musical sino la que tenes para armar un post 💚
Por otra parte, me encantaria poder leerte en español xq a veces me cuesta un poco leer en ingles (no leo tan fluido) pero se que es mucho mas trabajo hacer los post bilingues.
Saludos!!
Hole @themusiquero
Me alegro mucho que te veo por aquí, gracias por tus palabras! Verás, español no es mi lengua materna, aprendí hace nada más que unos años... esto ya sabrá mi amiga @soyunasantacruz 😇 y en realidad escribir en español me cuesta más que en inglés. Todo se puede, pero siento que las finesas y la estructura de las frases, la composición de la publicación domino mejor en inglés.
Por otra parte, las publicaciones en dos idiomas a mí no me molestan, pero yo prefiero solamente publicar en un idioma. Normalmente escribo bastante texto jajaja, muchas veces más que mil y pico palabras un una publicación, pues si lo pongo también en español, sería el doble 😂
De todas formas, muchas gracias por tus palabras y el deseo de que leas con más facilidad mis textos. Ha sido un comentario muy motivador para mí, thank you :)
Muchos pensaran que hablas y escribes bien el español porque vives en España 😆, dentro de dos años serás como otra nativa del idioma español.
Que alegría recibir una notificación tuya @mipiano, gracias esta publicación es maravillosa, no sabia que los hongos tenían tan buen gusto musical, te imaginas que cada planta sea especialista de un estilo de música, de un género.
Ellas deben tener su lenguaje así como nosotros, eso lo había pensado antes pero no a nivel musical. ☺️
Tomaré unos minutos para escuchar todos los videos, y claro que cuenta como una publicación de hongos diste más información sin fotos de lo que se puede imaginar. Abrazote 🤗
Ojalá :) Bueno, practicando por aquí y por allá se aprende rápido, y con la ayuda de los amigos y amigas, no hay límites :)))
Gracias por leer esta publicación, es un poco rara y fuera de lo normal jaja, que es una publicación con las fotos, pero no encontré hongos esta semana... pues vinieron a través de la música :)
No es una mala idea. Y si de verdad tienen un lenguaje, o por lo menos algo para comunicarse? Yo creo que a lo mejor sí que lo tienen!
Un gran abrazo igualmente y muchas gracias por tu estimada visita 🤗
Si las plantas se comunican entre ellas y hay personas que logran conectarse con algunas, ellas les dicen si están enfermas o que les gustaría estar en un lugar mejor otra área de la casa, cosas así.
Lo que no sabía era que podían crear música 🤔, amiga por favor cuando te hablen los hongos no corras, solo escucha y escribe la melodía. 😆
Así será!! haahaha 😅
a llevar siempre un cuaderno de pentargramas y un lápiz para apuntar que me cantan :)))
Pero es que si, como dice por ahi otro comentario pense que como vivias en España era tu lengua materna. No te habia notado escribiendo mal o redactando mal en los comentarios y por eso me parecia raro lo de los post en ingles 😅 Pero es que de verdad disfruto mucho leer tus post.
Y soy un amante de los hongos tambien, asi que no es raro que ande chusmeando siempre x esta comunidad 😎 Saludos!!!!
No te preocupes, muchos lo piensan que soy española. Ahora sabes el secreto que no lo soy jejeje :))
Gracias por tus palablas una vez más, han sido motivadoras 😇
I'm curious...have you ever done magic mushrooms before? Would you ever try?
Someone said recently: knowledge is dangerous.
Not to endanger you, I'll skip the answer :D 🎶
Ah hah! So you have! Wonderful.
PS - anyone reading this...that was just my assumption.
Oh, I see, magicians like assumptions 😁
Wow... This is the first time I'm hearing about mushroom music!
As weird as it sounds in my head, it feels good to tell musical stories from nature.
I sometimes do that with improvising.
But I've never really attached so much specificity to music composition made from nature.
This is quite interesting!
It is not so popular hahahah, this composer and his mushroom works, but yes, I saw it some time ago and just now it came to the post. Hm, nice comparison, stories like improvisation on a musical instrument! 👌
Nice post
thank you
Wellcome hony
