When I want to listen to music or dance all night in the city, I go to Dutty Artz. And where does Dutty Artz go? You can follow them on twitter. And while you’re on their twitter, check out the background photo of the orange pinwheel mushrooms (Marasmius rotula) I took in Tokyo last summer. These are one of my favorite mushrooms. And Dutty Artz is my favorite DJ collective, natch.

So at this Koishikawa Botanical Gardens in Otsuka, Tokyo that I would go to, in early July 2009 where I took all the photos of the last post at, there was this delightful mushroom all about, hese orange flower-like funny-looking mushrooms that looked like they were made out of tissue paper! They were abundant and I fell in love with them, the Marasmius rotula, or rather whimsically called, the Orange pinwheel. I’ve tried painting them a few times since but can’t capture the look. I’m devoting a whole post to them cuz I love them. Apparently they are common on the east coast of North America too.
