There once was a man of Pangaea Who had an unlucky idea:      He ate a strange shroom      And then laid in his tomb, Having died from insane diarrhea.

Mycological
You are the ghost of what remains Able to persist in soil ruined by the workings of man Able to grow after the rage of fire I am in awe of your ability to exist in such turmoil Yet know that strange soils can bring rich beginnings I may know little about your world But recognize your strength to do what many fear

Peziza echinospora
There is comfort in your transparency A willingness to be flexible Some find your touch uncanny Yet even your teeth are gentle While a cat may have nine lives You only get one season To inspire appreciation of the present And I will always remember you for it

Pseudohydnum gelatinosum
From the first moment I saw you I knew what you were So determined to make yourself like others with the thought "Why can’t they love me like Morel?" Except that thought is heard, seen by anyone who meets you And where some look at you as a trickster I look at you with utter love, wishing I could hold you to me And tell you, you are enough Even if I get poisoned in the process

I can pick you out of a crowd Your vibrant violet instantly makes me smile The sass clear and unapologetic As confident as your color Yet still vulnerable against a storm I will rally behind you Fight against your foes And listen to your heart For you are my favorite mushroom And dearest friend

Cortinarius violaceus
It’s funny On those days Where my head pains More than my heart, It seems the universe Grants seeds Of new Hope. On that beautiful, Begrudging, persistent Day, when the addiction To the darkness— Numbnity— returns, You will be tested. The threshold of Pain in your mind, The calcification Of your teeth and bones, And the softness of skin Will be tested.   And on that day, You will have a Sustantial conversation With yourself, Through someone else— A lover silently Snoring next to you, A clerk at Family Dollar With a gold tooth Who laughs and says “You like these, huh?” As you purchase your Fifth juice of the week, A mirror image You do not completely Recognize, God or the devil himself— That will torment you, Force you to ask The difficult question Upon the scale Of evolution. Those days, Will plant seeds of hope. Only if you listen

Spore
You're like a fungus Growing colors among us. As happy as you look, I can read you, an open book. From your flowing silk cap, To your teeth with slight gap. A smile to hide sinister desire, Face ice cold, soul a pyre. Tasting your intriguing trap Leads only to a sour dirt nap. Left feeling alone and dead, Wondering where is your head. For who in their right mind Could be so evil as to **** mine.
