The Godyssey Podcast<p>Black cats with white spots on their chest are known to the Scottish as Fairy Cats, cat-sith, huge as a dog with an attitude to match.

xsv (mode: mixed)<p>For <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FungiFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FungiFriday</span></a>, here is a picture of Fomes Fomentarius, commonly known as the Tinder Fungus or Hoof Fungus. It boasts a rich history as a fire starter, in textile crafting, and in medicinal use. Ötzi, the Iceman, carried this fungus with him 5,000 years ago. The Tinder Fungus surely held cultural significance; it's known to have been carried as a lucky charm. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any specific <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> tied to it.

Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág<p>Here's a fun Hungarian folktale about the origin of <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/mushrooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mushrooms</span></a>:</p><p>When Jesus and St. Peter walked the earth Jesus sent Peter to a house to ask for some flat bread. Peter took an extra piece and hid it in his pocket. As they walked on he kept nibbling in secret, walking behind Jesus.<br>However, every time he took a bite, Jesus asked a question, and Peter had to spit out the bread to answer.<br>From the spat-out bites the first mushrooms sprouted along the road 🍄</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FolkloreFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FolkloreFriday</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FungiFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FungiFriday</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>folklore</span></a></p>
