SHROOMSBLOOM - A HARVEST FILM · SHOT AT 04:00 · SILENT

Turn the world
down.

scroll - the forest does the rest

04:00

The forest keeps
its voice down.

North of the 52nd parallel, a white veil breaks the moss.

04:48

It arrives
dressed in white.

The veil tears. Red answers.

05:36

No greenhouse.
No hurry.

Raised by cold air and patience.

06:20

Grown.

Eighteen centimetres of silence.

07:02

We pick one.
We leave the rest.

The basket already keeps this morning's company.

07:12

Hands,
not machines.

A twist at the base - then spruce needles off, one by one.

08:05

Moss to studio,
same morning.

The forest rides in the trunk.

08:30

Caps parted
from stems.

Laid out like letterpress type.

+36 H

Warm air.
Nothing else.

Thirty-six hours at 40 °C, then a brief 90 °C finish. The red holds.

DAY 3

Sealed while the
forest is still in it.

Into the open pouch, then airless.

PROVENANCE - ECHO OF THE FILM

From forest to You,
seven honest steps.

  1. Young wild Amanita muscaria egg stage breaking through moss, boreal Canada01

    Surfaced

    A white veil shows in the moss. We find it before the sun does.

  2. Hand-picking a wild fly agaric mushroom at the base, one cap at a time02

    Picked

    By hand, at the base. One of many - the rest stay for the forest.

  3. Brushing spruce needles off a fresh Amanita muscaria cap with a soft brush03

    Cleaned

    Spruce needles brushed off with a soft brush. Never washed.

  4. Amanita muscaria caps drying at 40 °C in a dehydrator, dried fly agaric Canada04

    Dried, 36 h

    Caps parted from stems, 40 °C moving air with a brief 90 °C finish, residual ibotenic acid converts to muscimol.

  5. Vacuum-sealing dried Amanita muscaria caps into a ShroomsBloom pouch05

    Sealed

    Vacuum-sealed the same week.

  6. Dried fly agaric caps curing in glass jars in a cool dark room06

    Cured - in the dark

    Weeks in a cool dark room. Slow decarboxylation: ibotenic acid gives way to muscimol, and the specimen settles.

  7. A sealed pouch of dried Amanita muscaria caps beside a single dried cap07

    Archived

    Logged in the archive. Then it ships - flat and quiet.
