Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the sulphur tuft, sulfur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprophagic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
The "Sulphur Tuft" is bitter and poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions. The principal toxic constituents have been named fasciculol E and fasciculol F
Junto a la laguna del Prao de la Paul, muy cerca del casco urbano de Laguardia, un circuito de paseo en todo el perímetro de este magnífico humedal, donde las aves migratorias tienen una de sus mejores áreas de descanso.
Al fondo, las cumbres de la Sierra de Toloño Cantabria en su zona mas central. De izquierda a derecha Cervera, Palomares y Larrasa bien visibles.
Para darnos una idea de lo convulsionada que estuvo esta parte del sur de Alava, allá por siglo XIX, recordamos que en una cueva muy cercana a la cumbre de Palomares, fue hallado el cuerpo momificado de un voluntario carlista de la primera guerra, que tuvo lugar de 1833 a 1839, ataviado con su uniforme, boina roja y fusil a su lado. Este hallazgo ha tenido lugar hace muy pocos años. La historia que se nos aparece al cabo de los siglos.

I paesaggi lacustri, ma soprattutto le sponde dei bacini lacustri disegnano spesso un paesaggio di struggente dolcezza. Assente il movimento delle acque marine, assenti i rumori, i tonfi o i fruscii, è la luce a cantare, offrendo alla vista approdi onirici. Per questo, forse, il lago piace agli anziani; perché ispira pace, dolcezza, riposo. Il tutto in antitesi con le convulsioni futuriste di una società che sembra non aver capito nulla del futuro ..... ..

Here is something I didn't know :-)
All parts of the bleeding heart plant are toxic, both when eaten and when touched. A touch causes skin irritation. Eating the plant induces vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and breathing difficulty.
I found another raccoon here at Lake Meyer Park today. Unfortunately, this story will have a sad ending as the raccoon has canine distemper. Canine distemper is a virus that infects dogs but can also be passed to wild animals like raccoons, foxes and skunks. Luckily, it is not contagious to people. Animals contact the virus through airborne exposure such as coughing or coming in contact with contaminated food or water. Symptoms include coughing, muscle twitches, convulsions, head tilt and salivation. In raccoons, another sign of canine distemper is glowing green eyes, giving the raccoon a zombie appearance that you can see here. Sad to say, canine distemper is almost always a fatal disease.

This saprotrophic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees. Here it appears to be standing on a lawn, but there is still dead wood from felled trees under the grass.

gewone zwavelkop - Sulphur tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare)
Leading lights from cultural and political circles in the big cities have also been stranded on this barren stretch of heath … With one mighty convulsion all their scenery has collapsed about them, and now they stand around a little hesitantly and awkwardly on this drafty, open stage called Westerbork. These figures wrenched from their context still carry with them the restless atmosphere of a society more complicated than the one we have here. They walk along the thin, barbed-wire fence. Their silhouettes move, life-size and exposed, across the great stretch of sky. You cannot imagine it … Their armour of position, esteem, and property has collapsed, and now they stand in the last shreds of their humanity. They exist in an empty space, bounded by earth and sky, which they must fill with whatever they can find within them–there is nothing else.… Yes, it is true, our ultimate human values are being put to the test.

Jimson weed (Datura stramonium) is a beautiful, witchy plant that begins blooming in late summer and continues through the first frost. A member of the notorious nightshade family, its more famous cousins include tomato, eggplant, pepper, tobacco, and potato. Most members of this plant family are poisonous, and jimson weed is no exception. All parts of the plant are toxic, most particularly the seeds. Potent amounts of alkaloid compounds are present, which potentially cause convulsions, hallucinations, and even death if ingested. And as climate change increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, studies have found that the toxicity of plants like jimson weed only increases.

Sobre el Castillo de Belmonte
El castillo de Belmonte es una fortaleza que se eleva en el cerro de San Cristóbal, a las afueras de la villa de Belmonte, al suroeste de la Provincia de Cuenca. Fue declarado Monumento histórico-artístico perteneciente al Tesoro Artístico Nacional mediante decreto de 3 de junio de 1931.
Actualmente, está considerado como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC)
Es un singular edificio que por su estado de conservación, por su especial estructura, y por su aspecto exterior, prácticamente el mismo que tuvo en el momento de su construcción, constituye un valioso tesoro patrimonial. Fue construido en la segunda mitad del siglo xv, por orden de don Juan Pacheco, primer marqués de Villena. Era un momento de convulsiones y luchas internas en la Corona de Castilla. El marqués se proponía acumular territorios y construir fortalezas para hacerse fuerte ante los problemas sucesorios que se avecinaban. En 1456, en el cerro de San Cristóbal, se inician las obras de construcción del castillo que duraron aproximadamente hasta 1468, pues en 1472 don Juan Pacheco contrae terceras nupcias con doña María Velasco de la cual no hay ni un solo escudo en el castillo.
I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true—
Men do not sham Convulsion,
Nor simulate, a Throe—
The Eyes glaze once—and that is Death—
Impossible to feign
The Beads upon the Forehead
By homely Anguish strung.

La musique
La musique souvent me prend comme une mer!
Vers ma pâle étoile,
Sous un plafond de brume ou dans un vaste éther,
Je mets à la voile;
La poitrine en avant et les poumons gonflés
Comme de la toile,
J’escalade le dos des flots amoncelés
Que la nuit me voile;
Je sens vibrer en moi toutes les passions
D’un vaisseau qui souffre;
Le bon vent, la tempête et ses convulsions
Sur l’immense gouffre
Me bercent. D’autres fois, calme plat, grand miroir
De mon désespoir!

pronto en la web!!!
Difícil es saber el verdadero origen de su nombre, La teoría más extendida, cuenta cómo Hércules Tebano y sus argonautas en el siglo XIII antes de Jesucristo, al contemplar el Peñón, lo compararon con el de Gibraltar, llamado entonces Calpe, y a la vista de la gran semejanza, decidieron bautizarlo con el mismo nombre. Otros señalan que los fenicios al abandonar Calpe del Sur (Gibraltar) y viajar por la costa mediterránea, se asentaron denominando al Peñón con el nombre e Ifach, que en lenguaje líbico significa "del Norte" o "Boreal". Pero hay otros que indican que fueron los súbditos del rey númida "Sifax", los que al instalar en las faldas del Peñón sus residencias, lo bautizaron así en honor a su rey.
La historia de Calpe se pierde en la noche de los tiempos. Restos arqueológicos existentes entre el Peñón de Ifach y el Morro de Toix, ponen de manifiesto que la ciudad estuvo poblada desde tiempos muy remotos. A lo largo de los siglos fue escogida por diversas civilizaciones, íberos, fenicios, cartagineses, romanos, árabes y cristianos, valorando cada una de ellas su privilegiada situación el al costa del Mare Nostrum, su benigno clima y su estratégica situación como fortaleza militar, controlando desde lo alto de Ifach a los navegantes y desde las gargantas del Mascarat, el tránsito de caballerías. Esas mismas razones de gran fortaleza, fueron la causa de los múltiples ataques y grandes batallas. Hasta muy avanzado el siglo XVIII, piratas y corsarios llegaban a sus costas para efectuar saqueos.
De todas formas fueron los romanos los que durante más tiempo habitaron esta hermosa costa. Ellos también escogieron Calpe como lugar importante para su red de colonias que se extendían a lo largo y ancho de la Península Ibérica. La antigua ciudad de Calpe, "La puerta Tartaria", siguió siendo después una floreciente población romana. Prueba de ello son la espaciosa habitación con su corredor, pavimentada de precioso mosaico formando cenefas con dados pequeños, que apareció en el Morelló; las sepulturas, mármoles, ánforas candiles y la gran variedad de monedas romanas que continuamente se localizan entre el Peñón y La Villa, indica que Calpe asistía a un siglo ilustrado, un pasado grande y habitado por un pueblo de buen gusto.
A mitad de camino entre la villa de Calpe y el Peñón, en la misma orilla del mar, pudieron estar situados los denominados "Baños de la Reina", comidos hace ya tiempo por las olas del mar. Dicen unos que era una Edificación destinada a baños, en las que se habían instalado unas compuertas para moderar o impedir el movimiento de las olas, entrando agua por cuatro partes diferentes, dos de ellas situadas al sur y las otras dos hacia poniente, llegando de esta forma cada una de estas entradas hasta su baño correspondiente y disponiendo estos canales de tablones o compuertas que aseguraban la tranquilidad de las aguas en el interior del baño. Otros en cambio opinan, que en realidad los denominados "Baños de la Reina" eran una sofisticada factoría de salazones ("garum"). Fue este un floreciente negocio de la época, y pudo ser esta factoría una más de la larga cadena de ellas, instaladas desde las costas mediterráneas hasta la atlánticas, que tras cruzar Gibraltar, se extendían hasta Barbate o Zahara de los de los Atunes en Cádiz. Esta teoría está respaldada por la presencia en sus costas de caballas y atunes, presencia de agua dulce, necesaria para la limpieza del pescado y la proximidad de salinas, ubicadas a los pies del Peñón de Ifach.
Tras la presencia romana llegaron los árabes, que permanecieron durante varios siglos, dedicándose éstos a la pesca y la agricultura, sin descuidar la vigilancia de las rutas que pasaban por Mascarat . El fin de esta civilización se inicia en 1.254 con la conquista del castillo y la Villa de Calpe, por el Rey Jaime I de Aragón, dieciséis años después de que lo hiciera con la plaza fuerte de Valencia, creando el reino cristiano del mismo nombre. Confió la plaza a su fiel caballero Pedro Eximenis Carros, pasando después y hasta el año 1.305 a ser gobernada por el célebre almirante Roger de Lauria y a la muerte de este por otro insigne almirante de la Corona de Aragón, Bernardo de Sarriá.
La tranquilidad tardó en llegar. Las guerras y batallas continuaban. Pedro IV de Aragón y II de Valencia, tuvo que hacer frente a las amenazas moriscas de África, teniendo que reforzar las murallas de la Villa. Luego en 1.359, cuando la llamada guerra de Los Trastamara, la ciudad resistió los ataques del rey Pedro I El Cruel. Luego tras cruentas batallas navales entre aragoneses y castellanos llegó la paz.
El siglo XVI, trajo consigo el ataque continuado de piratas y corsarios, y esto motivó que por parte del rey Felipe II, se ordenara una nueva reforma de la fortificación de la ciudad, añadiéndose a sus murallas, torres vigías y una guarnición permanente. La fatalidad quiso que la noche del 3 de agosto de 1.637, la desgracia cayera sobre la población. Al no ser vistos por el vigía, la ciudad fue invadida por los moriscos, devastando la villa y haciendo prisioneros a casi todos sus habitantes, trasladándoles hasta Argel. Durante cinco años permaneció la villa casi desierta hasta que al cabo de este tiempo pudieron ser canjeados por oro y piratas presos. A la vuelta de los calpinos se realiza un nuevo reforzamiento de murallas, una que protegía el casco de la población, y la otra la ciudadela de cuyo fortín principal, sólo queda hoy en día parte del Torreón de la Peça (foto arriba). El 22 de octubre de 1.744, el vigía del Peñon, lanzó la voz de alarma. Cinco barcos tunecinos y a bordo de estos 800 piratas moriscos se dirigían a toda vela hasta las orillas de la playa del Ból. Una defensa heroica y la intervención de un joven llamado Jerónimo Ferrer Mulet (Caragol) que en el último instante logró cerrar las pesadas puertas de El Portalet, hizo retroceder a los moros, cayendo muerto el traidor Ali-Ben-Cofar (Moncófar) y prisioneros gran número de piratas.
Las convulsiones bélicas se continuaban. En la guerra de Sucesión, Calpe toma partido por el archiduque Carlos, hijo del emperador de Austria y aspirante a la corona de España, contando este con el apoyo de la flota inglesa que fondeó en sus aguas en agosto de 1705. Esta fue derrotada por Felipe V de Borbón apoyado por la escuadra francesa. Tras la derrota, la guarnición militar fue hecha prisionera y conducida a tierras de Castilla. Vino luego la guerra de la Independencia. De nuevo luchó Calpe contra el francés infringiéndole una grave derrota en la madrugada del 31 de mayo de 1.813.
La estratégica situación de Calpe le ha llevado a ser punto de atracción durante toda su larga historia. Y continua en nuestros días. Miles de familias de toda edad y nacionalidad han llegado a estas tierras asentándose pacíficamente en ellas. Por una vez, Calpe ha consentido una invasión: la del visitante que viene a disfrutar de su sol, playas y hospitalidad.
The best part of waking up, Is the blood of an enemies in your cup
*The metalic taste, warm and thick, coating her lips gave her body a euphoric convulsion, the liquid coating her tongue, the tip slipping against her lips then closing her eyes in a sinful, yet calming moan. fingers gripped her cup tighter, as a lover would to their beholden, not wanting them to leave. letting out a long hard breath, letting the remnants against her tongue fill her pleasure sensors as she drew the cup back against her lips*

Some of the most interesting things occur when I might think nothing is happening at all. The predawn and twilight hours in the desert are often the best shooting moments, but at the time in the moment, it feels like I'm actually preparing for the pinnacle to come. What's ironic about that is that I'm sitting on top of the pinnacle and don't even know it.
This is a story of lack of sleep, coupled with an ambition to maximize a short period of time in a spectacularly beautiful place. This night we caught sunset, and shot Astro. We pulled into camp with 3 hours until the wake up call, and I planned to cowboy camp. On the way to the bathroom a scorpion and spider with 10 legs the size of my hand was discovered which ruled out cowboy camping. The spider I could deal with, but the scorpion was small, and I know those are the worst kind. Coupled with my experience on the Pacific Crest Trail I was almost positive this was a bark scorpion, which is the most venomous scorpion in north america. It's venom causes severe pain for up to 72 hours, temporary dysfunction in area stung, convulsion, loss of breath, and the sensation of electrical jolts... I think not.
My tent is ultralight and has no mosquito netting, and I had left my bivy at home, so the only option was to empty out the Jeep and sleep in the back. This was quite a chore, but it was useful because we needed to organize the chaos that was our transport anyway. We rolled out of camp, and hiked to our destination in darkness, hoping for some great sunrise lighting. The sunrise was mild at best, but arrived early enough to capture the faint blue glow of light reflecting off the rocks as the looming sunrise mixed with night.
Sulphur Tuft. Best known for causing vomiting, diarrhoea and convulsions. But those may be the least of your problems. What was that noise…?

“In the ebb and flow of life, an opportunity missed is often an opportunity missed forever!”
-Unknown
Since seeing the above quote on a coffee cup while out thrifting several weeks ago I have not been able to release the ebb and flow part from my thoughts. I am always amazed at where that “thing” that sticks in your heart, that inspires the deepest of thought can come from. Being a simple man, a coffee cup saying can become the “ear worm” that sticks!
This photo, taken at Ft. Pickens Florida back in 2022 was the last thing I edited before waking my beloved dog Sophie and heading to bed to sleep with my bride. Oddly, it was on my heart as I awoke this morning, riding on the back of the term ebb and flow like a jockey in the derby!
It was maybe a half an hour after sunrise as I walked the beaches of Ft. Pickens, totally prepared for the gifts that I knew would be granted. As I walked east on the beach in total solitude, I noticed flight after flight of pelicans, cormorants, seagulls and terns overhead as if on a mission and landing and swimming several hundred yards up the beach…there were hundreds of birds congregating in a very small area. Experience had taught me that a feeding frenzy was about to occur, so I sprinted down the beach to capture the event.
The sprint, that quickly morphed into a jog and then again into a fast walk got me there to see the entire evolution of the event and how the different species worked in unison for the sake of survival. The dolphin herded the small baitfish from the depts as they gorged themselves on the millions of fish. Once the fish were near the surface the divebombing began with the pelicans and cormorants hitting the water like a severe, softball size hail storm. The gulls and terns did their best to get into the action by taking the dead and injured fish from the surface. There was so much action in an area the size of a couple of tennis courts that focusing on a subject became impossible. I started swinging my lens around as if in a convulsion, perfectly reflecting what was going on between my ears!
This shot was taken as the frenzy was starting to die down. The shoal of fish who certainly numbered in the millions at the start were now splintered into several smaller schools with their numbers decimated. In this shot, the cormorants pinned a school between them and the beach with the school turning the small wave brown. The dolphin and pelican soon departed, much heavier that when they arrived. It was now time for the smaller consumers to feast, the species that could only take a few, or in the case of this juvenile Royal tern, one at a time.
The natural ebb and flow of our planet, the shifting of her plates, her natural cycles of ice ages and thaws and changing weather patterns allows events like this to take place. Sometime in the near future this area will experience a hurricane and the population of pelicans, cormorants, gulls and terns of the area will take a hit. The baitfish will thrive as the seabirds’ numbers rebound thus creating balance in nature, in the circle of life.

Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the sulphur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprotrophic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
The "sulphur tuft" is bitter and poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions. The principal toxin is a steroid known as fasciculol E.
Hypholoma fasciculare grows prolifically on the dead wood of both deciduous and coniferous trees. It is more commonly found on decaying deciduous wood due to the lower lignin content of this wood relative to coniferous wood. Hypholoma fasciculare is widespread and abundant in northern Europe and North America. It can appear anytime from spring to autumn.
Often used to illustrate fairy tales and folklore, fungi remind us of mythical creatures and childhood stories. From rock hard, black fungi named after the legend of King Alfred’s burnt cakes to tiny orange ones that look like pieces of orange peel, the sheer variety of British fungi is astonishing.
Not categorised as a plant, fungi are organisms that live under the ground or on their host. They form a colony of tiny branching threads called mycelium.
The parts of the fungi we see above ground are the fruiting bodies. This part contains spores, similar to seeds in as much as they are for reproduction, which are dispersed to produce future colonies. Some fungi shed their spores from below, some by expelling them with force and others in liquid form.
Fungi don’t photosynthesise as they don’t have any chlorophyll, so they get their energy from their growing medium, which might be leaf litter, rotting wood or decaying creatures. They come in many shapes, sizes and colours, and can be found by looking high and low, particularly in woodland, with most appearing in autumn.

Phoradendron californicum. Hemiparasitic plant. Sucks the life out of host trees. The white to reddish fruits are edible, the plant however, contains phoratoxins which can easily lead to death via slowed heart rate, increased blood pressure, convulsions and cardiac arrest. It may cause hallucinations, but there is no way to judge dosage. People seeking a "high" from mistletoe still turn up in morgues each year.

All parts of the common ivy are poisonous. Known toxic ingredients are α-hederin (triterpensaponin) and falcarinol. Signs of poisoning can occur after taking two or three berries: burning in the throat, diarrhea and / or vomiting, headache, increased pulse, convulsions. After exposure to large quantities, shock and respiratory arrest may occur. Often contact dermatids are also produced by reaction of the falcarinol with the proteins of the skin.
Sämtliche Pflanzenteile des Gemeinen Efeus sind giftig. Bekannte giftige Inhaltsstoffe sind α-Hederin (Triterpensaponin) und Falcarinol. Zeichen der Vergiftung können schon nach Einnahme von zwei bis drei Beeren auftreten: Brennen im Rachen, Durchfall und/oder Erbrechen, Kopfschmerzen, erhöhter Puls, Krämpfe. Nach Aufnahme großer Mengen können Schock und Atemstillstand auftreten. Häufig sind auch Kontaktdermatiden durch Reaktion des Falcarinols mit den Proteinen der Haut.

I could pass by and leave no description
turn a blind eye and forgive such inquisition
forget me nots of bygone innocence
long gone is that spirit and essence
of an England comforting the eye and heart
so much owed by so many to so few torn apart
lest we forget, we must remember to realise today
wake up, wake up, and see what is happening to the UK
I am not happy, for freedom is by rights, shared
now can the same be said for the blame impaired?
behold the mess, misery and pluvial bookmark
highlights a sodden diary seeking mercy before it's debark
another day in a gothic year of sisterly missions
holding back the failings of successive leaders unanswered questions
minions breeding contempt across our beautiful land once pure
politics becomes the administered atrocity of written convulsion with no known cure
when, in our wake, we always had enough, why, as a being do we live without seeing
across the land, across the water, we are heard to be calling, wanting, aching
for someone...something to save us...to medicate our minds once more
is health serving us well under the sickly governmental persecution of the people poor
the healing land and sea laps against our self-harmed souls, nurturing foresight
copious truth exists where we forget to tread, so unconvincing were we with hindsight
darkened by unimaginative desensitising politicians, the travesty of generations
where the hell do these people come from? stealers, thief's, fools canvassing poisons
which we the humble will reap before the end of the tilth is reached in our midst
upholstered globalists unseat the communities they raise to be blitzed
standard of living is not loving...property values cannot house what our heart's refuse
homing-in on realisation is well overdue, the bill we'll pay for later with our lives and issues
if we're not careful one almighty retrojection awaits us all, for better or worse
only the true soul of nature inspiriting our very being is truly able to traverse.

Der Grünblättrige Schwefelkopf (Hypholoma fasciculare) ist ein Blätterpilz aus der Gattung der Schwefelköpfe. Der lateinische Name fascicularis beschreibt die Wuchsform und bedeutet auf Deutsch „büschelig“. Als saprophyter Pilz schädigt er keine lebenden Organismen, da er sich von organischer Materie (wie Totholz) ernährt und diese für andere Lebewesen verfügbar macht. Der Hut erreicht eine Größe von zwei bis sechs Zentimetern und ist leuchtend gelb bis grünlich gefärbt. Er ist zunächst kugelig, später flach ausgebreitet, wobei in der Mitte oft ein Buckel hervortritt, manchmal befindet sich dort auch eine Vertiefung. Der Scheitel ist etwas dunkler, oft blass fuchsrötlich oder orangebraun getönt. Die Oberfläche ist meist kahl und glatt, kann aber auch mit blassen Velumfasern bedeckt sein. Am Rand befindet sich oftmals ein häutiger Saum.
Die dichtstehenden Lamellen sind zunächst gelblich, dann grünlich und schließlich bei Reife olivbräunlich gefärbt und angewachsen. Manchmal sind die Pilze steril, wobei die Lamellen in ihrer Grundfarbe leuchtend gelb erscheinen.
Der Stiel ist an der Spitze neongelb, darunter weißlich bis hellgelb getönt, zur Basis hin dunkler und ins Bräunliche gehend. Er ist zwischen drei und acht oder auch zehn[2] Zentimeter lang. Manchmal lässt sich eine schwach ausgeprägte faserige Ringzone erkennen. Das Fleisch ist vorwiegend gelb, im Stiel eher bräunlich gefärbt und schmeckt bitter. Die dunkel violettbraunen Sporen haben eine Größe von 6–8 × 4–4,5 Mikrometern.
Von unkundigen Pilzsammlern kann er leicht mit dem essbaren Rauchblättrigen Schwefelkopf verwechselt werden. Dieser wächst fast ausschließlich an Nadelholz, hat graue Lamellen und weißes Fleisch und einen milden Geschmack. Zudem fehlen ihm jegliche neongelben oder grünlichen Töne an Stielspitze und Lamellen.
Der Grünblättrige Schwefelkopf ist ein Giftpilz. Seine Giftstoffe (Fasciculole)[4] wirken auf Magen und Dünndarm und lösen Erbrechen sowie Durchfälle aus; Dauerschäden treten jedoch nicht auf.[4] Vor einiger Zeit glaubte man, der Pilz sei tödlich giftig, da Zellgifte isoliert wurden, die bei Mäusen Lähmungen und den Tod hervorriefen. Eine ähnliche Wirkung auf den Menschen wurde bisher nicht nachgewiesen. Die frühere Behauptung, dass der Grünblättrige Schwefelkopf Gifte des Grünen Knollenblätterpilzes enthalte, erwies sich als falsch.

Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the sulphur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprotrophic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
The "sulphur tuft" is bitter and poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions. The toxins are steroids known as fasciculols and have been shown to be calmodulin inhibitors.The hemispherical cap ranges from 2–6 cm (3⁄4–2+3⁄8 in) in diameter. It is smooth and sulphur yellow[4] with an orange-brown centre and whitish margin. The crowded gills are initially yellow but darken to a distinctive green colour as the blackish spores develop on the yellow flesh. It has a purple-brown spore print.[5] The stipe is 3–10 cm (1+1⁄8–3+7⁄8 in) tall and 4–10 mm wide,[4] light yellow, orange-brown below, often with an indistinct ring zone coloured dark by the spores. The taste is very bitter,[6] though not bitter when cooked, but still poisonous.Hypholoma fasciculare grows prolifically on the dead wood of both deciduous and coniferous trees. It is more commonly found on decaying deciduous wood due to the lower lignin content of this wood relative to coniferous wood. Hypholoma fasciculare is widespread and abundant in northern Europe and North America. It has been recorded from Iran,[7] and also eastern Anatolia in Turkey.[8] It can appear anytime from spring to autumn. The toxicity of sulfur tuft mushrooms has been attributed, at least partially, to the toxic steroids fasciculol E and fasciculol F (in mice, with LD50(i.p.) values of 50 mg/kg and 168 mg/kg, respectively).[10] In humans, symptoms may be delayed for 5–10 hours after consumption, after which time there may be diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, proteinuria and collapse. Paralysis and impaired vision have been recorded. Symptoms generally resolve over a few days. The autopsy of one fatality revealed fulminant hepatitis reminiscent of amatoxin poisoning, along with involvement of kidneys and myocardium. The mushroom was consumed in a dish with other species so the death cannot be attributed to sulfur tuft with certainty.

The island of Madeira probably appeared in the quaternary era, during a volcanic eruption or a huge earthquake. Underwater surveys and several convulsions have accentuated the geological evolution of the island.
“My wretched passions were acute, smarting, from my continual, sickly irritability I had hysterical impulses, with tears and convulsions. I had no resource except reading, that is, there was nothing in my surroundings which I could respect and which attracted me. I was overwhelmed with depression, too; I had an hysterical craving for incongruity and for contrast, and so I took to vice.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I don't know. I ignore it.
I don't know how long I was there
without finding it again.
Maybe a century? Perhaps.
Maybe a little less: ninety-nine years.
Or a month? It could be. In any way,
a huge, huge, huge time.
Finally, like a sudden rose,
sudden trembling bellflower,
the news.
suddenly know
that he was going to see her again, that he would have her
close, tangible, real, like in her dreams.
What a contained explosion!
what a dull thunder
rolling in my veins,
exploding up there
under my blood, in a
nocturnal storm!
And the discovery, right away? And the way
to greet us, in a way
that no one understood
that that is our own way?
Just a touch, an electrical contact,
a conspiratorial squeeze, a look,
a heartbeat
screaming, howling with a silent voice.
After
(you already know this since you were fifteen)
that flutter of imprisoned words,
low-eyed words,
penitentials,
between enemy witnesses.
Still
a love of "I love him",
of "you", of "I would very much like to,
but it's impossible"... From "we can't,
No, you think better about it"...
It's a love like that,
It is a love of the abyss in spring,
courteous, cordial, happy, fatal.
The farewell, then,
generic,
in the confusion of friends.
See her leave and love her like never before;
follow her with her eyes,
and without eyes continue seeing her far from her,
far away, and still follow her
even further away,
made of night,
bite, kiss, insomnia,
poison, ecstasy, convulsion,
sigh, blood, death...
Done
of that known substance
with which we knead a star.

Poi vennero le convulsioni, e dove il campo
da tempo dormiva nel verde pastorale
una montagna mostruosa emerse
(certo i sensi atterriti si ingannavano!)
roccia argillosa e burroni di scorie,
lì era l'irrevocabile del male,
la scoria nel suo estremo ritirarsi,
ma prima che l'occhio potesse accoglierla
e la mente assumerne possesso
s'inabissò, ai nostri piedi.
Solidità non è altro che crosta
di un centro incandescente che brucia dal fondo
tutto può scorrere quietamente per anni:
ma chi non si rivolta impaurito pensando
all'improvviso accadere degli orrori?

Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant of the aster family with yellow, button-like flowers, native to temperate Europe and Asia. The leaves and flowers are toxic if consumed in large quantities; the volatile oil contains toxic compounds including thujone, which can cause convulsions and liver and brain damage. Tansy was a popular strewing herb in times past because it's clean, camphorous scent repelled flies and other pests. It is still a good custom to plant tansy outside the kitchen door and around the garden for the same reasons. Although tansy is useful as a vermifuge, and can be used externally as poultice to treat skin infections.
