Support Sacred Stone Camp. Legal Fund Help. Rezpect Our Water.  Sign the Petition. Sign urgent petition. And please, please, signal boost as much as you can, spread the word – mainstream media is still acting like nothing is going on, and I saw one new MSM article today, and it was covering the 3rd day in August!

Who is that hiding in the kinnikinnick? Oh look! It’s Suillus sibericus! Not all mushrooms have gills. Suillus are what’s called a bolete, and instead of gills they have tubes neatly stacked together.
