pasitheaI bought some more cultures for edible mushrooms today. While I thought about it, I did not buy any Panellus Stipticus (One of the brightest mushrooms for producing foxfire)
However, I mentioned it at work and one of my co-workers was curious about it so I find a wikipedia article for him and then noticed that under the entry on Foxfire that Ben Franklin had suggested using it as the lighting system aboard the turtle. Heh heh heh.
You have to wonder about the founding fathers. Washington growing hemp, Franklin knowing about glow-in-the-dark shrooms (not to mention being a peacenik quaker) And then all that equality and freedom for all and no military and freedom of religion stuff. Face it. They were a bunch of damn hippies. :)
