My renewed interest is not so much for the physical experience but for the spiritual experience. I want an experience that will once again help me find some footing in a world I am positive is losing control of itself.
The 4th Annual Maine Fungi Fest is happening at the end of this month. It is only an hour away. I figured I would go and check it out. It is a 3 day event. I assume Saturday will be the big day. I am not going so I can get high. I want information and connections to help me learn more about fungi, the trippin kind and the other kinds, edible and medicinal. What I have learned so far is nothing but a tease. I want some real interactions with folks who have some expertise, not just loose dog experiences like I have had so far.

I am breaking one of my own hard line rules here. The song, "Journey to the Center of the Mind" was a 1968 song that rocked every teen club from coast to coast. The Amboy Dukes were only around for a brief time. It is understandable then I had no clue who was in it or what one of them might turn into 50 years later. Seems Ted Nugent was their lead guitarist. I vowed many years ago before Ted became the Winger Asshole he is today, that I would never own or play any of his music.
Contrary to popular belief about rock and roll stars of the 1970's, most of them did not actively go after underage girls. Sure it happened, but no where to the degree the myth has created. When I was driving rock and roll bands around though, Ted Nugent had very bad rep for bedding underage girls. When he released, "Jail Bait", in 1981 though, that was when I was done with him. He was a mediocre talent with the reputation for being a class A asshole.
Anyway, rules are meant to be broken I guess. Offering up this tune is proof.

About 1 hour from where I live they have a humongous fungus fest every year. The fungus is spread over about 37 acres.

Do you mean the festival is spread over 37 acres?
The humongous fungus is at least 37 acres in size. I can't recall the specific species but whatever it is the underground part (roots, tendrils, whatever) is ginormous compared with what shows where people can see it. Be careful with your experiments. All mushrooms are edible, but some are edible only once. A few years ago the local Extension office had to do a last minute cancellation of a mushroom identification workshop when the expert leading it got sick from eating fungi he apparently misidentified.
The word "fest" caused my confusion. That Mycelium network is damn big. Of course just a baby compared to the largest living land organism in the world, the mycelium network out in eastern Oregon which is @ 2.4 square miles big.
I checked on Maine of course. Seems we have too much ledge for a huge network to work. Another issue - Maine has not been effectively explored yet. But it is getting there.
I have talked a different friends about doing drugs as we were younger. I then wonder if my body could handle it. I yet haven't been high on religion. I seen people and known people high on religion. No thank you.
