The Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco is currently hosting ~200 pieces inspired by My Neighbor Totoro It's a traveling show for a thing Miyazaki started for 'Totoro's Forest'. Basically trying to get money to make a wildlife preserve from the forest that inspired Totoro/Pompoko/etc.

Yes. Now you can not just experience the crushing depression of watching a beautiful forest get destroyed, you can go, be surrounded by images inspired by it, and have the opportunity to donate in hopes you might help prevent its destruction.

A lot of really beautiful work but it wasn't exactly what I expected. So... If you love beautiful wild spaces and strange magical creatures and you don't mind tearing up and sniffling in public, I recommend visiting this collection before it, like the forest, disappears.

Let me just take a moment to say, "Mmmm... Blewit stroganoff."

Quite tasty and purple.

Yes, I'm eating strange purple mushrooms I found growing on the ground.
No, you shouldn't worry. There is absolutely nothing else these could possibly be but blewits. They're one of the easiest mushrooms for a novice to identify. Plus I ate one last night as a test to make sure I had no adverse reactions and I found them to be delicious. :) Sort of very slightly mushroomy with a kind of chicken-fried-steak flavor and a nice texture.

Definitely will eat these again. :)
