Welcome to the 1 to 9 podcast for interesting insights and knowledge for animals and other beings within multi-dimensional realms. Well, here we are for another 1 to 9 podcast. How are you doing, Diana?

00;00;19;14 - 00;00;21;09
Diana
I'm okay. How are you, Karin?

00;00;21;11 - 00;00;27;00
Karin
I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good. Today we have invited in the Mushroom Collective.

00;00;27;01 - 00;00;37;25
Diana
Yes. When we had this idea, what was it last week? A couple of days ago, the mushrooms started entering the edges of my.

00;00;37;27 - 00;00;38;13
Karin
Visionary.

00;00;38;13 - 00;00;51;15
Diana
Field. I. My mental landscape. And at first, they were really clamoring to get in. But then after that, after a couple of days, it kind of quieted down because they knew we were going to be talking to them.

00;00;51;19 - 00;01;21;00
Karin
So. Oh, good. So they knew they had gotten on the, on the, schedule for the next podcast. Right. But then they left you alone. So we have a little bowl of, shitake mushrooms here that are joining us in the in person or in pleasure, however, they'd like to be saying hi. Hi. Hi, hi shitakes. And then we're also inviting in the mostly the edible, mushroom collective today.

00;01;21;00 - 00;01;34;09
Karin
Right? Yes. Okay. That's that's the mushrooms are so vast, we can't really invite everybody in on the same show and probably get get enough information out, right?

00;01;34;11 - 00;01;52;01
Diana
so the shitakes are saying, you know, we'd like to introduce ourselves. Okay. So, so they're not actually moving around, and it's like jumping up or whatever, but I kind of like to see them saying, oh, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the funny one.

00;01;52;03 - 00;01;56;03
Karin
Oh is the funny one. Oh no. No. Oh they're the only one in this.

00;01;56;09 - 00;02;02;19
Diana
They're the they're individuals in there right. Oh okay. And they, they each want to introduce themselves.

00;02;02;25 - 00;02;03;18
Karin
Oh my goodness.

00;02;03;19 - 00;02;26;27
Diana
I know, I know right. I mean it's going to go fast but that many. Okay. So no, I mean there are quite fit in there and they're all kind of like merged together. So they're kind of like separating themselves out. And they form, there's forming this line and they're just going down the line and they're saying, I'm the funny one.

00;02;26;29 - 00;02;38;08
Diana
And, they're just saying various things in respect to their characters. I'm not going to go through them all because I can't really hear what they're saying, okay? They're all they're all different. Okay.

00;02;38;09 - 00;02;45;11
Karin
And so this is reminding me a little bit of, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

00;02;45;13 - 00;02;46;08
Karin
I'm just saying.

00;02;46;12 - 00;02;53;03
Diana
It's great here because they not the kind of like their unique characteristics, you know?

00;02;53;03 - 00;02;58;20
Karin
Okay, well, that's very interesting to know. It's like. So each mushroom is its own individual.

00;02;58;22 - 00;03;02;07
Diana
Yes. Even though they're connected, you know.

00;03;02;09 - 00;03;02;17
Karin
Yes.

00;03;02;17 - 00;03;16;15
Diana
There's something physically and then energetically and spiritually, even metaphysically. Right. Just like humans, they're individual souls. But also, is it connected as part of this gigantic whole? Right.

00;03;16;17 - 00;03;40;16
Karin
You know, and if we go deep and deep enough into it, we're all part of the same one. Oneness. These talking mushrooms are representative of the whole grid and of mushrooms in some ways, and they're connected. I know they're connected by this great underground sort of neural pathway that that covers the Earth, right? Or pretty much covers the Earth.

00;03;40;17 - 00;03;49;17
Karin
Maybe not everywhere. And do we find I have a side question I need to ask. Do we find any mushrooms in the ocean?

00;03;49;19 - 00;04;02;24
Diana
yeah. There's mushrooms like plants in there. Okay. In that they also are part of, the kind of like part of the grid.

00;04;02;27 - 00;04;06;00
Karin
so they're part of the grid, but they're different grid.

00;04;06;02 - 00;04;15;06
Diana
Well it's a different grid because it's in the ocean, broken in the earth, but it's still somehow connected, meaning that the grids can communicate.

00;04;15;06 - 00;04;19;29
Karin
With each other. Okay. And that that question partly came up because the Dolphins have asked.

00;04;20;01 - 00;04;25;28
Diana
Yeah. They asked to, to be included here because they're really curious about mushrooms.

00;04;26;01 - 00;04;38;24
Karin
And, are the dolphins curious because they have heard that the mushrooms are higher up higher intelligence or higher consciousness or higher vibrating energy, because we know that about dolphins.

00;04;38;26 - 00;04;49;21
Diana
Right? well, they're curious because they themselves cannot actually go up on land and kind of like do their investigations on their own.

00;04;49;23 - 00;04;52;01
Karin
Oh, okay. So they're just listening in.

00;04;52;04 - 00;05;09;16
Diana
Yeah. So they want to know more about mushrooms. Okay. because they do know that somehow they fit into something like this, like this evolution, this change is happening now.

00;05;09;21 - 00;05;23;18
Karin
The change that's happening now, this is the big like awakening consciousness shift that's taking place. Yeah. And opening up more multidimensional realms. Right. For access. Deeper understandings.

00;05;23;21 - 00;05;24;20
Diana
Yes.

00;05;24;22 - 00;05;35;01
Karin
And, all right, so the mushrooms are assisting all of us with this same transition.

00;05;35;06 - 00;05;35;20
Diana
Meaning.

00;05;35;21 - 00;05;43;20
Karin
Yummy as the mushrooms. And if they don't want to be short change, like, what percentage of this whole consciousness shift do they attribute to them?

00;05;43;22 - 00;05;45;20
Diana
They're saying like 50%?

00;05;45;24 - 00;06;04;10
Karin
50%. Interesting. Oh, wow. Well, that that's interesting. So is that if we eat the mushrooms, we take part in that. Or is they they're just doing that as part of their existence on this earth? Well, like a free gift.

00;06;04;12 - 00;06;40;29
Diana
They're doing it for themselves too. Okay. Right. But, the fact that more people are cultivating mushrooms and more mushrooms are growing everywhere, cultivated and in the wild, too. They feel that because of what the energy that their karmic gathering from the depths of the earth to create their, their networks. Yeah. And the mushrooms themselves, they're they feel that they're responsible for a lot of this.

00;06;41;02 - 00;06;43;22
Karin
Yeah. The big consciousness shift is taking place right now.

00;06;43;23 - 00;06;46;18
Diana
The the raising of vibrational energy.

00;06;46;22 - 00;06;50;18
Karin
Oh thank you. Mushrooms. That's really that's really tremendous.

00;06;50;18 - 00;06;52;09
Diana
I know so yeah.

00;06;52;12 - 00;06;57;08
Karin
And it helps to eat them as well. I'm assuming. Oh yeah.

00;06;57;14 - 00;06;58;26
Diana
Definitely to helps to eat them.

00;06;58;28 - 00;07;00;13
Karin
Yes okay.

00;07;00;15 - 00;07;16;05
Diana
I mean there's that's one of their functions to they would rather have food. Humans and animals eat them than just dying and melting back into the earth.

00;07;16;07 - 00;07;24;24
Karin
So I have Ollie here today, and I'm wondering if I should start feeding some of these mushrooms to Ollie.

00;07;24;26 - 00;07;29;10
Diana
you know, it all depends on if he actually wants to eat them.

00;07;29;12 - 00;07;36;08
Karin
so that's really interesting. The, the they take credit for 50% of the consciousness shift that's going on.

00;07;36;10 - 00;08;01;07
Diana
Okay. They're taking credit. We don't know if that's really actually the case as like I said, they think of themselves as really important I know sorry mushrooms. A couple of days ago I referred to you as being vain, but you know, I don't want to say that you're too self-important, but, you know, you're right to to think of yourselves.

00;08;01;07 - 00;08;02;25
Diana
It's really important.

00;08;02;27 - 00;08;16;06
Karin
Yeah, I agree. I mean, we get to derive a ton of medicinal uses of mushrooms and as well as edible. And if they're actually working in the background to raise the vibration of this earth and its inhabitants.

00;08;16;08 - 00;08;16;17
Diana
Those are.

00;08;16;17 - 00;08;17;10
Karin
Pretty important.

00;08;17;10 - 00;08;31;07
Diana
And they also think that there are very, very beautiful to look at to each and every one of you. Oh, interesting visual energy to bring, bringing something to to your eyes.

00;08;31;12 - 00;08;52;00
Karin
Okay. So. Right. So just by looking at them. So raising them, raising them, even if you don't eat them can be important because it forces you to look at them more. Right. Going in the woods and foraging for them. I have right here a playing card deck with them on. So all of that is the same vibration, or you get more vibration just by eating them.

00;08;52;29 - 00;09;22;07
Diana
It's different kinds of vibration. And you probably get if you eat them, you get more of the energy that's coming from the earth. but I mean, if you're around them and if you're meditating on them or if you're cultivating them, you also get so it can, an energy shift, meaning that you absorb the energy that they've created from the Earth.

00;09;22;09 - 00;09;29;22
Karin
And they're this is a even higher vibrating energy than plants. But diet wise.

00;09;29;24 - 00;09;30;13
Diana
Yeah.

00;09;30;16 - 00;09;37;19
Karin
And is it. They're saying it is a, it's a consciousness shifting energy as well.

00;09;37;21 - 00;09;39;29
Diana
yes. They're saying yeah.

00;09;40;02 - 00;09;50;00
Karin
So if you're trying to expand and learn more and grow and have deeper understanding, eating mushrooms could help you.

00;09;50;02 - 00;09;50;20
Diana
Yes.

00;09;50;20 - 00;09;52;18
Karin
And they're not talking about the psychedelic kinds.

00;09;52;23 - 00;09;58;20
Diana
No, no, we're talking just plain old you know what I'm going to say? Ordinary? No.

00;09;58;26 - 00;10;01;04
Karin
Not ordinary. That's the wrong word.

00;10;01;06 - 00;10;09;16
Diana
What becomes the varieties of mushrooms that you can find in regular grocery stores? And then also specialty stores too, right.

00;10;09;16 - 00;10;16;03
Karin
Like portobello oyster mushrooms chanterelles. Okay.

00;10;16;05 - 00;10;17;10
Diana
Trumpet mushrooms.

00;10;17;15 - 00;10;29;15
Karin
Enoki, lion's mane, puff balls, King trumpet. creminis. Maitakes. What about maitakes? Special.

00;10;29;18 - 00;10;54;27
Diana
Okay, so I had I had been looking at a picture of the maitake. A really nice picture of maitake mushrooms. And, somehow it was they. I'm just going to say, you know, they were telling me that if the maitake mushroom is actually chopped up, chopped is kind of like a bad word. They don't like the word chopped.

00;10;55;04 - 00;11;01;14
Diana
They also don't like the word processed is made into smaller pieces.

00;11;01;16 - 00;11;06;03
Karin
But they prefer to be torn apart. Or would they prefer to be.

00;11;06;05 - 00;11;06;18
Diana
Cut.

00;11;06;26 - 00;11;08;25
Karin
With a knife?

00;11;08;28 - 00;11;22;20
Diana
Okay. For some reason they're taking objection to the word itself, right? Right. So but they're saying, yes, you have to.

00;11;22;27 - 00;11;34;00
Karin
Break them apart into small pieces. Yeah. Is there some, like chemical reaction that happens when you, mince them?

00;11;34;02 - 00;11;35;17
Diana
apparently, yes.

00;11;35;20 - 00;11;42;02
Karin
Okay. So there's a chemical that is released. And what does that chemical do for us?

00;11;42;05 - 00;11;51;27
Diana
it, it kind of like, makes the energy in the mushroom and the vibration of the mushroom. Okay. Increases it quite a lot.

00;11;52;00 - 00;11;59;09
Karin
And I feel like running out and getting some maitakes and mincing them up and then from there, I just toss them on my salad.

00;11;59;12 - 00;12;04;21
Diana
You can put them on your salad or you can eat them raw or you can like lightly cook them.

00;12;04;24 - 00;12;09;18
Karin
Lightly cook them. So the mushrooms prefer to be cooked. How?

00;12;09;20 - 00;12;24;19
Diana
well, they can be sauteed in any kind of cooking method, right. Just not to the point where they're burnt and really hard. Okay. Don't roast them.

00;12;24;24 - 00;12;25;00
Karin
No.

00;12;25;00 - 00;12;31;01
Diana
Crispy mushroom. No. Yeah. No. Well it can be crispy on the outside right.

00;12;31;03 - 00;12;37;19
Karin
But a lot of people put portabellos on their grill outside. They don't like that because the fires are reaching them.

00;12;37;21 - 00;12;44;01
Diana
No no that's okay. Because the, the insides of them are still okay. Soft.

00;12;44;03 - 00;12;46;14
Karin
Just just don't make them crispy.

00;12;46;14 - 00;12;48;22
Diana
Burn because just. Yeah.

00;12;48;25 - 00;12;52;22
Karin
All right. What about drying them? Does that increase their energy or just preserve.

00;12;52;22 - 00;12;58;01
Diana
It for this thing? They don't really like drying. They don't like to be dried. Yeah.

00;12;58;03 - 00;12;59;03
Karin
Let's get them fresh.

00;12;59;09 - 00;13;00;07
Diana
Get them fresh.

00;13;00;09 - 00;13;02;12
Karin
A lot of people sell dried mushrooms right now.

00;13;02;19 - 00;13;11;28
Diana
Yeah, but they're saying, you know, I mean, if if that's the only thing that you have available to you. Dried mushroom. Yeah. Work with it.

00;13;11;28 - 00;13;26;22
Karin
That will work. You know, if, if their energy is given to you just by looking at them, if you can get to, eat the fresh ones, can you just look at a picture of the fresh ones versus dried?

00;13;26;28 - 00;13;34;19
Diana
They're saying that you put a picture of the fresh ones in the package, or on the package of the dried mushrooms, which.

00;13;34;19 - 00;13;36;02
Karin
They often do.

00;13;36;04 - 00;13;40;04
Diana
Which actually helps a lot. Oh, interesting.

00;13;40;11 - 00;13;46;27
Karin
So the so photograph of the mushrooms can actually bring up the energy of the dried out mushrooms.

00;13;46;27 - 00;13;48;27
Diana
Right, right.

00;13;48;29 - 00;13;58;06
Karin
that's really interesting. Is there a mushroom that thinks that besides the maitake that thinks that people should eat a lot of them.

00;13;58;08 - 00;14;01;29
Diana
Don't they think that people should eat a.

00;14;01;29 - 00;14;03;13
Karin
Lot? And is it like.

00;14;03;14 - 00;14;04;12
Diana
Prefer that.

00;14;04;14 - 00;14;10;00
Karin
It's are we talking about three times a day?

00;14;10;02 - 00;14;18;20
Diana
Oh, they're saying I don't know if you want to go overboard and do that, but then, you know, you may you may get sick of us.

00;14;18;22 - 00;14;31;29
Karin
Oh. Oh yeah, that could happen. So let me ask about the mushroom coffees and the mushroom drinks where they've been pulverized into powders and then some hot water on them, or any kind of water and bring them back to and drink them.

00;14;32;01 - 00;14;43;22
Diana
Well, so what they're saying is that if they make the powder from a mushroom that's been cut, like roasted, so it's rock hard, right?

00;14;43;24 - 00;14;46;07
Karin
What about if it's been dehydrated and then.

00;14;46;07 - 00;14;47;19
Diana
Then that's like dried.

00;14;47;22 - 00;14;53;24
Karin
Yeah. So it's it's less it's less. So these mushroom drinks are sketchy.

00;14;53;26 - 00;14;56;24
Diana
They would prefer not to be processed that way.

00;14;56;26 - 00;15;00;08
Karin
But they've really not been processed.

00;15;00;10 - 00;15;02;10
Diana
You mean you just eat raw?

00;15;02;12 - 00;15;04;11
Karin
Eat them raw or lightly cooked?

00;15;04;14 - 00;15;10;18
Diana
If by processed, you mean just like roasted and browned up. Yeah.

00;15;10;21 - 00;15;27;06
Karin
I guess I'm not 100% sure how they are. These, mushroom coffee people are burning them up, but they're doing something to dry them out so you could put them in a pill form, or you could put them in a. I guess those are mostly the medicinal ones, not the edible ones.

00;15;27;09 - 00;15;28;11
Diana
Right?

00;15;28;14 - 00;15;31;15
Karin
It's a little different than.

00;15;31;17 - 00;15;37;13
Diana
Yeah, but you're still consuming the medicinal ones, right. So much. Okay.

00;15;37;18 - 00;16;01;05
Karin
We can we can talk to the medicinal ones. Another podcast. Okay, okay. Let's stick with the edible ones. I just was curious about the beverages that are being made with them. If they like that type of preparation and use in general and in their answers that they're not sure about the integrity of the way that they're created.

00;16;01;05 - 00;16;12;24
Diana
Right. It just it does something to to alter the energy. Somewhere down it changes it.

00;16;12;28 - 00;16;13;19
Karin
It changes it.

00;16;13;19 - 00;16;15;24
Diana
And lessens it.

00;16;15;26 - 00;16;17;09
Karin
Okay. Dims it.

00;16;17;11 - 00;16;22;14
Diana
So I mean you may get some kind of mutated energy.

00;16;22;17 - 00;16;33;14
Karin
So now we have established that these mushrooms are responsible for the 50% of the consciousness shift taking place in the earth right now.

00;16;33;14 - 00;16;34;10
Diana
That's what they say.

00;16;34;16 - 00;16;36;10
Karin
And they're very beautiful.

00;16;36;12 - 00;16;36;28
Diana
Yes.

00;16;37;06 - 00;16;51;17
Karin
And even if they come close to that 50% or somewhere high in there, you know, they're above 10%, I'd be like forever grateful to the mushrooms, because it seems like that's a free thing that we can just count on them doing or thank them for doing.

00;16;51;17 - 00;16;57;03
Diana
Right. And so, you know, we're saying get the word out.

00;16;57;05 - 00;17;02;10
Karin
Get the word out, get the word out. Have they seen the movie Fantastic Fungi.

00;17;02;13 - 00;17;07;16
Diana
That's kind of like partly what's feeding into their appreciation of.

00;17;07;16 - 00;17;13;08
Karin
Themselves. Oh, so the movie with the word fantastic fungi in kind of and the.

00;17;13;08 - 00;17;16;27
Diana
Fact that they think they're fantastic.

00;17;17;00 - 00;17;19;04
Karin
That's why not, right?

00;17;19;05 - 00;17;22;04
Diana
Why not? And why not?

00;17;22;06 - 00;17;44;29
Karin
So there's a list of mushrooms I have here, like oyster mushrooms, morels, chanterelles, chicken of the woods. One of my favorites. Enoki, lions manes, puffballs, king trumpet, creminis. Or the baby portabellos. is there any of those mushrooms that has a particular message for us?

00;17;45;01 - 00;18;16;10
Diana
Well, I mean, basically they're they're they're all kind of saying we're we're this big family, but there's, there's these little groups that form a big family, just like the turkeys have got their own little individual personalities. They've got their individual personalities. So when you're actually dealing with them, either growing them yourself or buying them in the store and then eating them or cooking them and cooking them, you're saying you've got to take that into account?

00;18;16;17 - 00;18;26;12
Karin
Okay, so they're individuals, like humans are individuals. They want to be okay to recognize that and to see them, to recognize them, to thank them for being in your.

00;18;26;14 - 00;18;27;11
Diana
Yes.

00;18;27;14 - 00;18;33;03
Karin
And if you're very perceptive, maybe even, say, see what they have.

00;18;33;06 - 00;18;34;03
Diana
To say to you.

00;18;34;03 - 00;18;36;04
Karin
Or hear, hear what they have to say.

00;18;36;07 - 00;18;44;00
Diana
Right? Because, you know, they could be telling you exactly what they want you to do with them.

00;18;44;02 - 00;18;47;25
Karin
How they how you mean how to how to prepare them.

00;18;47;28 - 00;18;48;10
Diana
Right?

00;18;48;10 - 00;18;50;22
Karin
How many of them to eat all that stuff.

00;18;50;22 - 00;18;51;04
Diana
Yeah.

00;18;51;09 - 00;18;56;00
Karin
So you could actually go to the grocery store and hear which mushrooms wanted to go home with you.

00;18;56;02 - 00;19;06;25
Diana
You wouldn't have to cook, right? Because this is like a relationship between the eater and then the mushroom. And it's really it's kind of like a really personal relationship for them.

00;19;06;27 - 00;19;10;28
Karin
But they have a fairly profound conscious understanding themselves.

00;19;11;00 - 00;19;15;01
Diana
And collectively they do. And then also individually they do too.

00;19;15;04 - 00;19;20;23
Karin
I wonder if that's been proven yet scientifically. Takes us a while. Sometimes to prove things, I don't know.

00;19;20;23 - 00;19;25;11
Diana
It's like they're there. All of them are karmic, really old.

00;19;25;14 - 00;19;30;04
Karin
They're really old. Yeah. They've been around as long as like, say, dolphins.

00;19;30;07 - 00;19;31;18
Diana
Yes.

00;19;31;21 - 00;19;42;07
Karin
And by saying they're all really old, does that mean that part of the first mushrooms are still with these new mushrooms?

00;19;42;09 - 00;20;14;21
Diana
Yeah. Well, somehow it's, you know, I mean, it's like. They've got their, their fungi networks, which go deep. I mean, they go deep into the ground and the networks never really die. So the networks are built basically kind of like almost the same ones that were in existence when they first started. Interesting. Yeah. You know, that's why they say they're so or so they got, they got kind of like wisdom.

00;20;14;24 - 00;20;16;13
Diana
And then some of the earth.

00;20;16;16 - 00;20;20;29
Karin
So do you gain some of that wisdom by eating them or is it more just the consciousness shift?

00;20;20;29 - 00;20;23;10
Diana
Since, you know, you gain some of that wisdom too?

00;20;23;17 - 00;20;36;20
Karin
Diana, I have to ask you, don't you just want to, reach over there and eat a shitake? No, no, no, I want to grab their wisdom or you just want to look at them. Oh, no.

00;20;36;23 - 00;20;42;11
Diana
I'm admiring them because each of them is a perfect little individual mushroom.

00;20;42;14 - 00;20;45;00
Karin
And look at the little designs on top.

00;20;45;00 - 00;20;45;27
Diana
Of them. Yes.

00;20;45;28 - 00;20;53;26
Karin
You stop and stop and notice. They each have like a little personal, like flower of life type design on the very top of them.

00;20;53;28 - 00;21;12;15
Diana
Right? Each of them has got its, added its own personality and its own beauty. So I don't want to steal anything from them either. Well, because what they, what they give us, they give us willingly. Right.

00;21;12;17 - 00;21;15;15
Karin
But eating them wouldn't be stealing them. It'd be part of the process.

00;21;15;18 - 00;21;17;00
Diana
No. Right. Right.

00;21;17;02 - 00;21;18;09
Karin
And receiving.

00;21;18;12 - 00;21;27;07
Diana
Right. But it's kind of like this relationship between the eater and the mushroom. so it's hard to say. It's different than with plants somehow.

00;21;27;10 - 00;21;41;18
Karin
Well, it's like animals. You can have this relationship with animals. Like eating a chicken might make you more fierce. You would have a relationship with the animal we used to sort of personifying animals and allowing them their certain consciousness level.

00;21;41;22 - 00;21;42;16
Diana
Right.

00;21;42;18 - 00;21;45;24
Karin
We're not as used to it with plants and fungi and.

00;21;46;01 - 00;21;52;20
Diana
Yeah, so I mean, they do think of themselves as more human, like the plants.

00;21;52;22 - 00;22;01;23
Karin
Okay. And they share in general greater consciousness. Okay. Different from a fairy or a gnome or something, right? Homunculi.

00;22;01;28 - 00;22;03;06
Diana
Right.

00;22;03;09 - 00;22;08;23
Karin
I'm sorry. I just learned a new word.

00;22;08;25 - 00;22;16;10
Diana
And so that's what I was getting to. When when they talk, they wanted to introduce themselves individually.

00;22;16;12 - 00;22;17;21
Karin
Is that's going.

00;22;17;23 - 00;22;18;27
Diana
Homunculi.

00;22;18;29 - 00;22;19;15
Karin
Okay.

00;22;19;15 - 00;22;23;15
Diana
Because they want to be recognized as their own individual.

00;22;23;17 - 00;22;30;07
Karin
So since these mushrooms don't really live that long, what happens to the homunculi like when the mushroom is no longer alive?

00;22;30;13 - 00;22;39;24
Diana
Oh well, the homunculi is the energy okay. Right. So if you eat the mushroom, right, basically ingesting the homunculi it too becomes part of you.

00;22;39;27 - 00;22;40;09
Karin
Right?

00;22;40;09 - 00;22;49;24
Diana
And if mushroom dies, then the homunculi like goes back into the network. If you eat it. No, if if if the mushroom is not.

00;22;50;00 - 00;22;56;23
Karin
Okay. So if you eat it, you get it. The homunculis, if they just die, the homunculi absorbs back into the network.

00;22;56;25 - 00;23;03;24
Diana
So this is where the consciousness expanding comes from. I guess the homunculi and the mushrooms.

00;23;03;26 - 00;23;23;17
Karin
It's it's it's a big leap to think to think of this. So if they have any detailed explanation, it would probably be really helpful. Like a mushroom is part of a network. It's it's wise because it's part of a network that's been around forever. And it brings forth that wisdom. And it, it, comes up out of the ground.

00;23;23;17 - 00;23;33;10
Karin
It blooms, so to speak. Then in that process of blooming, does it a homunculi, how does a homunculi like gain additional consciousness?

00;23;33;13 - 00;23;44;05
Diana
well, it's kind of like it's see, it's a metaphysical manifestation. so like the energy that the mushroom is bringing from the depths of the earth.

00;23;44;09 - 00;23;50;12
Karin
Okay, so the earth is shifting itself, and the mushroom is basically organizing that into a new consciousness.

00;23;50;14 - 00;23;51;04
Diana
Right.

00;23;51;07 - 00;23;52;00
Karin
Very interesting.

00;23;52;07 - 00;23;53;09
Diana
Yes.

00;23;53;11 - 00;23;55;21
Karin
And the homunculi are part of that.

00;23;55;23 - 00;24;00;23
Diana
Yeah. The homunculi.

00;24;00;25 - 00;24;04;23
Karin
I, you know, look that word up on done with this podcast, but.

00;24;04;25 - 00;24;38;06
Diana
It kind of like fits in in terms of they want people to think of them as more human like. Right, right. And we already talked about mushrooms is being we use they're all already anthropomorphized in terms of, you know, we call mushroom meat flesh. Or meat or meat. Right, right. I don't know I curious other things too, I guess I can't think of anything but.

00;24;38;08 - 00;25;03;18
Karin
That's all right. So the maitake, it has some magical powers to it. We're not exactly sure what they are, especially if they've been chopped up and either lightly cooked or added to the sound. And then the other mushrooms are all kind of in the same general ballpark. And, you know, they all bring something slightly different, but nothing really specifically outstanding like the maitake does if we eat them.

00;25;03;18 - 00;25;04;04
Karin
Is that.

00;25;04;06 - 00;25;05;21
Diana
Right?

00;25;05;23 - 00;25;08;24
Karin
It was that too easy to jump into that?

00;25;09;01 - 00;25;09;12
Diana
Well made.

00;25;09;14 - 00;25;12;14
Karin
You don't want to make everybody run out and just only eat maitakes, right?

00;25;12;14 - 00;25;16;15
Diana
They each have their own, their own little flavors. Meaning.

00;25;16;18 - 00;25;18;20
Karin
But specialties.

00;25;18;22 - 00;25;30;09
Diana
Yeah. Okay. Special kind of energy. Right. but you can't really say. Okay, the morels have an energy that will do this for you.

00;25;30;11 - 00;25;31;17
Karin
Oh, you can't say that.

00;25;31;22 - 00;25;38;16
Diana
Yeah, or at least they don't want to, because it kind of depends on the relationship between the eater and the mushroom.

00;25;38;19 - 00;25;41;01
Karin
So in general or in general.

00;25;41;01 - 00;25;57;10
Diana
Right. They all do something. They all have the capability to expand your your consciousness, but they will eat each one of them. Do it in a, perhaps a slightly different way.

00;25;57;12 - 00;26;13;21
Karin
So so I'm going to jump to the conclusion then that we should really probably just eat a variety of them, or we should be very thoughtful about or mindful about which ones we choose and ask, ask them, you know, which one of you wants to.

00;26;13;23 - 00;26;20;13
Diana
Which one of you? Okay. Ask them which one of which one of you would actually benefit me the most at this.

00;26;20;16 - 00;26;20;27
Karin
Right?

00;26;21;01 - 00;26;30;14
Diana
I mean, it's kind of like a lengthy process. You basically have to be looking at pictures of them or go to a store which has. Yeah, you go to a great variety of mushrooms.

00;26;30;19 - 00;26;41;09
Karin
Right? Well, I think most people are going to be like restricted to the ones that are available to them, even if they saw pictures, unless they wanted to just sit there and meditate with the photograph.

00;26;41;12 - 00;26;43;07
Diana
They could do that to.

00;26;43;09 - 00;26;54;16
Karin
Is the one spoke to them. so this is kind of revealing that these passions have a consciousness, have a vermiculite.

00;26;54;18 - 00;26;55;21
Diana
Homunculi. Come on.

00;26;55;22 - 00;27;17;14
Karin
Homunculi, like, I'm never going to remember that homunculi like they are. Well, I wouldn't say they have one. They are in homunculi. Right. Okay, so this bowl of maitakes here have homunculi, or is a bowl of homunculi like, little homunculi like.

00;27;17;16 - 00;27;24;25
Diana
Okay, one mushroom has got a homunculus in it, and homunculi is plural, right?

00;27;24;25 - 00;27;43;22
Karin
Okay. Of course, of course. Thanks for pointing that out then. Diana has many PhDs in literature and stuff. I'm just an artist. is there any message that the mushrooms want for us globally to take away from this, that they haven't already given us?

00;27;43;25 - 00;27;53;23
Diana
Spread the word. They want more people to become familiar with more varieties of mushrooms and discover how fabulous they are.

00;27;53;26 - 00;28;05;09
Karin
But demotivate. All right, that's awesome. But the motivation for people doing that is usually just selfish. Like they want to discover them because they want to become fabulous too. Like the mushrooms.

00;28;05;13 - 00;28;06;11
Diana
Oh no. Well, I mean.

00;28;06;13 - 00;28;07;21
Karin
Okay, fan their consciousness.

00;28;07;22 - 00;28;10;04
Diana
There's many, many different motivations.

00;28;10;07 - 00;28;11;01
Karin
Right?

00;28;11;03 - 00;28;17;25
Diana
If they're cooks, they want to have added flavors to their foods to make their food more delicious, right?

00;28;17;27 - 00;28;19;18
Karin
Or nutritious. So yeah.

00;28;19;20 - 00;28;21;03
Diana
Or nutritious. Exactly.

00;28;21;03 - 00;28;21;21
Karin
That's good. Right.

00;28;21;21 - 00;28;25;01
Diana
Care about nutrition, right. Or.

00;28;25;04 - 00;28;37;24
Karin
right. We have the medicinal. We have the psychedelics. There's a lot of reasons that people would want to. Right, get involved in mushrooms. Right. But I'm just saying everything's like saying.

00;28;37;24 - 00;28;48;15
Diana
And so the more you are involved with them, the more you're able you will be able to tap into the karmic with them. The mushroom network.

00;28;48;18 - 00;29;05;04
Karin
Okay. Now we're not specifically talking about psychedelics here, but some psychedelic mushrooms are quote unquote edible as well and are they part of what communicating to us now or that be a separate conversation?

00;29;05;06 - 00;29;08;19
Diana
you it's kind of like the edible mushrooms are here.

00;29;08;22 - 00;29;30;28
Karin
Okay. Just said that mushrooms just want to make sure we're clarifying that. All right. So the fabulous mushrooms it is similar to fantastic fungi. Right? Right. More people need to know about them. They are assisting in the consciousness shift of this world. You can be part of it by looking at them or eating them. be mindful.

00;29;30;28 - 00;29;31;18
Diana
About.

00;29;31;20 - 00;29;34;02
Karin
Your approach to mushrooms.

00;29;34;05 - 00;29;36;03
Diana
Yeah. I mean, you treat them with respect.

00;29;36;04 - 00;29;44;19
Karin
Treat them with respect because they have a homunculus in them. And so they're they're basically individual consciousness that each each mushroom.

00;29;44;26 - 00;29;45;13
Diana
That's right.

00;29;45;20 - 00;30;04;24
Karin
I just asked them like, can you tap into an enoki right now? Because that always comes like a crowd of mushrooms. And are we supposed to like, look at each individual in that crowd and say, hey, which one of you were the can that be handled as a crowd?

00;30;04;26 - 00;30;13;23
Diana
Well, it can handle is a crowd, but you have to consciously, consciously realize the crowd is formed up in little individuals.

00;30;13;26 - 00;30;16;26
Karin
Right? Little individual homunculi.

00;30;16;28 - 00;30;18;07
Diana
Yeah.

00;30;18;09 - 00;30;25;15
Karin
Sounds like homunculi. So. And do the dolphins have a question?

00;30;25;17 - 00;30;53;00
Diana
yeah. Missing it. This is all a really interesting stuff. We didn't know any of this before. they're saying that there are some plants, organisms that they know of in the ocean that also have this kind of, like, network. they could be a coral.

00;30;53;02 - 00;30;55;29
Karin
Coral, be one of them, or,

00;30;56;02 - 00;31;29;17
Diana
Yeah, I guess so. You see, they're like, somewhere on a network that's in the water. okay. Or also, you know, on the ocean floor. And so I guess they're realizing now that, well, that the same thing is actually happening on land, that there are these organisms with individual consciousnesses that are part of this immense network that's really old and,

00;31;29;19 - 00;31;32;10
Karin
And is shifting, helping to shift the consciousness.

00;31;32;13 - 00;31;39;16
Diana
Right? I mean, this is why they were curious because they could actually not go and see this for themselves.

00;31;39;18 - 00;31;43;00
Karin
So the dolphins can spread the word as well about the fantastic.

00;31;43;00 - 00;31;43;15
Diana
Yes.

00;31;43;15 - 00;31;55;05
Karin
And they're having help, help that they have this immense, helpers on earth that they're not responsible for just doing it in the ocean.

00;31;55;08 - 00;31;56;21
Diana
no. That's true.

00;31;56;24 - 00;32;17;11
Karin
Maybe they can sort of communicate. They can open up communications between them. The fungi and the fungi network, their own network that encircles the land, part of the Earth and the ocean, part of the Earth could start communicating and maybe amplify what's going on, right?

00;32;17;18 - 00;32;21;03
Diana
Yeah. I mean, they're saying those that they're already doing that. Okay.

00;32;21;06 - 00;32;24;18
Karin
Excellent. Any final last comments.

00;32;24;21 - 00;32;25;18
Diana
From the mushrooms?

00;32;25;22 - 00;32;27;02
Karin
The mushrooms?

00;32;27;05 - 00;32;32;04
Diana
no. They're just jumping up and down and saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00;32;32;06 - 00;32;40;16
Karin
All right. Well thank you, Diana. And thank you mushrooms. And I will never think of you as anything but fantastic from now on.

00;32;40;21 - 00;32;45;07
Diana
That's right. We are fantastic.

00;32;45;09 - 00;32;46;26
Karin
All right. Thank you.

00;32;46;28 - 00;32;47;25
Diana
Thank you.

00;32;47;28 - 00;32;57;13
Karin

A profound conversation with mushrooms we like to eat
