With all this talk of pie. Let’s not forget about savory pies!
I’m think we foraged enough mushrooms for a Shepherd’s Pie to serve on Thanksgiving.
A good vegetarian dish for our gathering.
My favorite pie for Thanksgiving dessert is still masala spiced pumpkin pie 🥧
What’s everyone baking?

Later, while walking along the beach, we found a cluster of Oyster mushrooms growing on some driftwood.

There were a number of Yellowfoot mushroom nearby.
Until recently, I didn’t realize these were related to Chanterelles and are sometimes called Winter Chanterelles. 🍄🟫

One of my Nocturne interference prints was purchased at the PADA pop-up. First time at an event like that.

Such a rich show full of prints that are best enjoyed in person. There’s also a neon piece with the words ‘Turtle Island And’ that looks like stitching.
I enjoyed what was written around back.

A few photos from 'Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt' at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University.
Master Printmaker Julia D’Amario gave a wonderful talk about Watt’s early prints made at Sitka, which included ones exploring insomnia and sleep.

Mushrooms often do look like mutants. Here, we got a Black King Oyster Mushroom Kit for my youngest from a mushroom festival.
We were supposed to open the plastic envelope when it started pinning.
We forgot.
And when we did cut it open this was what was inside. 🍄🟫 🧟♀️

Now that’s the largest Rosecomb Chanterelle I’ve ever seen! Looked like a brain on the forest floor.
I’ve never heard a satisfying answer as to why this rosette growth pattern happens.

The coastal forest in the fall used for inspiration.
During my residency, I would hike up Cascade Head and look out at the Salmon River Estuary after a day in the print studio. 🌿

Here she is ‘Attitude of Gratitude’

The hair of this mural in SE Portland is made of thousands of living plants.🌱
Looks like she is actually five stories tall. One of my favorite murals in the city. #pdx

Last night out with a friend I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what looks like the ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ mural in Portland ( that version is over two stories tall complete with living plants to make up her hair on the side of a building). Lovely to see a smaller version.
The living hair!

Wilkins did contribute to our understanding of the structure as did Gosling.
The real question is, if discovery requires building upon multiple lines of evidence and contributions: Why do we give so much deference to a Prize awarded to only three living people?

If you look at the text of the Double Helix, that ‘eureka’ moment implies a man with no depth in crystallography could magically glance and see a structure where Franklin could not from the photographs of the B form of DNA. (Watson’s book only says B form)

Franklin was described in Watson’s account as ‘Rosy’ (a name she detested) and was unflattering and more importantly implied she did not understand her own work. (Maybe him owning his initial bias upon meeting her? IDK)

“the tone used to describe Rosalind's work in the Epilogue
is perfectly reasonable,
but contrasts ludicrously with
the descriptions of her

Came upon a forest ranger documenting fungi.They had a list of species they were cataloging. The cauliflower 🍄🟫 (sp. Sparassis crispa) was listed.
I shared the coordinates & details of where I’d found them in that forest. She was very grateful.
Maybe it was karma; I found another one 30min later!

A wonderful assortment of mushrooms popped up over this sunny weekend. We found Kings, Chanterelles and a Cauliflower which we made into a wonderful soup.
As we are in Portland, we had to battle our way past gleeful cyclists to the Whole Foods to pick up the broccoli sprouts.

During REM your brainwaves on an EEG look similar to when you are awake but your body is paralyzed! This state sometimes weaves strange yet meaningful connections.
‘Vernal Dreams’ draws on imagery from a sleep diary & uses sleep data to explore our nocturnal world.
