My Celi love for Mycelium

I had seen the videos over the last 4 years…
Mycoremediation- using mycelium to breakdown different materials that are negative on this environment and breaking the carbon bonds with special enzymes to produce carbohydrates which can be positive or neutral in our environment
I had also fallen for a couple new companies growing furniture with mycelium….
Following them online was a blessing,
My passion followed in action. 
I found a mushroom farmer in Kansas City.
Carie Cave. Not only is she humble and full of love, but she allowed me in her space to teach me and show me the details in producing a culinary mushroom. Free Education through volunteering… I learned how sensitive this live culture is to light, air, and other competing microbes.
I found my new love, oh and by the way, did you know that mushrooms are more closely related to the animal kingdom than to plants? These special microorganism are used to expand our mind, our body, and soon, recovering of our planets health!

Volunteering

When I left public high school, I found myself searching for education in nontraditional ways. This desire led me to volunteering.. I have been an avid volunteer for over 12 years. This is not for curriculum or requirements, I volunteer because it's the most direct action I can take. Donating money is the next best thing, but it's a dry exchange that limits engagement and ability to see where the help* goes. I began with recycling events, tree planting, invasive plant removal, and recycling education. These events and actions put me face to face with my community and my communities core issues regarding consumption, waste, and pollution. It's a practice to do something for nothing. These days instant gratification in social media or consumption leaves us hungry and hopeless to do something that pays off for future gain. To invest in the future may leave our hands empty for now, but the payoff is always greater than the initial handout.

San Fransisco - LA Sweetgreen roadtrip 4-29-2018

Tuesday morning- April 24th I will be traveling with a Orion down the west coast with a final destination of Arizona. Orion works for a farm to table concept called SweetGreen. He builds personal relationships with the farmers to learn their system and values. We will be leaving San Francisco and visit farms throughout the west coast and the south states.  Orion and I begin on the road this morning towards a mushroom farm , high production high scaled. I want to focus on the education aspect of this but I can’t help pulling an emotional human experience with it. Orion and I visit Global Mushroom. Most everything is automated. Our guy Chris tells us that before they expanded he told the boss man about automation. Implementing this system into an old system doesn’t work. You can’t stop production to create a new way. You need to expand in to a new system as to make the old system obsolete.  The equipment mixes, weighs, drops the agricultural waste into wooden crat...

Do androids dream of automated transportation 2-23-2017

I just awoke , Thursday at 1am, from a dream that had my focus and attention. When i have panic attacks, I feel as if Olivia as i know her is fading away. In my dreams however she remains real and conciously present.  The dream is a Birdseye view of the highways, all the traffic in the rain, slowly making its way. I hear Elon musk speaking, he says soon there will be off ramps where pods are stored. Soon automation will be the main form of movement... My history and love of Jpods (an alternative transportation system) comes into my mind. I find myself parked on the side of the road in the piece of shit honda my mother owns.  Two absolute chunk ugly cars pull up next to me. The first car is filled with a family of 4, the fathers energy calls to me. A second car, same situation.  I turn around in my backseat, to where i have somehow manifested both fathers. I look them both in their eyes and say “We are all here for a purpose “ i squeeze my eyes tight as i feel ...
