Mushroom music/Soppsanger
På Neslekremlas julemøte ble det selvfølgelig sunget soppsanger, f eks,
NEDTELLINGSSANG FOR SULTNE SOPPFOLK.
Melodi: Gubben Noa
Skal jeg ete
sopp så fete
er jeg snart på plass.
20 musseronger,
det er mat for konger.
Øl og hvitvin
og en rødvin
i mitt store glass.
19 kurver
røde skrubber,
18 pils på rad.
17 reddikhetter
ikke rart jeg svetter,
16 risker
noen svisker
så blir jeg så glad.
15 halve
sjanpinjonger,
kokt i salta vann.
14 kantareller
13 karameller,
Fulle krøja,
hele smørja
i min hule tann.
12 små drammer
har jeg drukket
før man ser seg om.
11 ekornnøtter
ikke rart jeg spøtter
10 små steinsopp
9 spiss fleinsopp
8 flasker rom.
7 elgbegre
6 gram hegre
går ned litt om litt.
5 små fluesopper
4 kaffekopper
3 små kjuker
2 jeg bruker og

New York Mycological Society's New Year Banquet 2012
Soppdagelse's New York correspondent attended the New York Mycological Society (NYMS)'s New Year Banquet in Chinatown last weekend.
2012 is the hundredth anniversary of the composer John Cage's birth. Cage was a co-founder of the NYMS, an avid mushroom hunter and serious mycologist. Cage told stories about mushrooms and mushrooming in his books and in his music.
Gary Lincoff read some of Cage's stories about mushrooms that are part of the performance work and writing. The stories vary in length, but each were told in one minute (Cage speeding up or slowing down the telling according to the story's length). Tudor in another room was playing two of Cage's compositions. They were recorded simultaneously with neither one hearing the other. A number of these stories have to do with mushrooms. In the 1990's NYMS made a compilation and they are planning to do something again this year in honor of Cage's 100th Anniversary.
The program also included a "hymn to mycology" and a fungal gift lottery.
It is curious how mycological societies the world over tend to have the same events in their social programs.
About 80 friends of mushrooms/mushroom hunters took part in the event.
As one might expect, the menu was full of fungi:
- Crabmeat soup and bamboo fungus and stinkhorn mushroom
- Bean curd and assorted mushrooms
- Abalone, Bok Choy and Chinese black mushrooms
- Silk Squash, Bamboo Fungus and Enoki mushrooms
- E-Fu Noodles with black mushrooms
