✨ Folklore Friday - Fungi ✨

Fungi is slowly starting to pop up around Itchen Valley but do you know the folklore around their creation? 🍄

In ancient Egypt they believed that mushrooms were a gift from the god of the desert and master of storms, Set - appearing when his lighting bolts hit the earth ⚡

And it turns out this myth could hold some truth! Research suggests that lighting strikes can increase mushroom crops. In some cases, lightning hitting logs seeded with spores has doubled how many mushrooms spring up! 🍄‍🟫
