like the Infinity Mushroom.

I wanted to cultivate this perspective just like the mushrooms, so I formed the Decompiculture Society, a group of people called decompinauts who actively explore their postmortem options, seek death acceptance and cultivate decomposing organisms

Growing a mushroom is also part of a larger practice of cultivating decomposing organisms called decompiculture, a concept that was developed by an entomologist,

But I propose to you that the sequence of microbes that occur on rotting mushrooms are essential for the health of the forest.

Greenhouse gases are a byproduct of this process, and are released through waste.

What? she wanted to know.

There are microbes, you know go back to yeast.

Sanitation, union corruption...

Food packaging reduces spoilage.

What crystals are possible, we can understand through the mathematics of symmetry.

In fact, we're more closely related to fungi than we are to any other kingdom.

Ah, putrefaction.

The dendritic pattern you see mimics the growth of mushroom mycelia, which are the equivalent of plant roots.

Nor food other than suppuration (filth)

Nor any food except the pus discharged from the people of hell.

neither any food saving foul pus,

Nor any food save filthy corruption.

Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds,

And no food except scum.

and has no food except the filth from the washing of wounds,

Nor any food save filth

nor any food except pus,

nor any food except foul pus

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds

and no food except pus

Nor any food except refuse,

and the only food he has is filth

Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,

By some biological or psychic mechanism

We're now going to move from real biological data to biogenerative algorithms that create artificial nature in our next artistic and scientific installation.

Now this quest started four billion years ago on planet Earth.

Injudicious, sir, he said firmly. It will not become you.

A Microbiologist, an Investment Banker, the mother of a professional Athlete.

So this is the great paradigm.

Biologicals here.

The Decompiculture Society shares a vision of a cultural shift, from our current culture of death denial and body preservation to one of decompiculture, a radical acceptance of death and decomposition.

Because there is this asymmetry, which creates, basically, failing governance.

This stuff is produced biologically.

Hey, you okay?

Nasa grade, of course. There's still NASA, yes?

The marvel of this information

And some of them,

So what about the next step?
