[NetBehaviour] slime mold, hardened form, anomalies, identifications, webs

[ruth catlow]

Thanks Alan

How fascinating that it has suddenly changed so radically in such a 
short space of time.

I read your request for help with "identification" as a request for 
methods of developing empathy or developing a deeper relationship with 
this mold (if that's what it is).

AGF has provided great resources in response to your actual question.

In response to the question I thought you were asking...here is a link 
to the Mycorrhizal event 
<https://www.furtherfield.org/events/mycorrhizal-event-fiona-macdonald-feral-practice/> 
that Fiona MacDonald of Feral Practice ran recently at Furtherfield- in 
which she involved us in a ritual meditation to commune with the 
mycorrhizal networks in Finsbury Park. The Mychorrhizal Meditation 
created for park users is also available for downloadhere

warmly
Ruth
