lyrics

I’m a mushroom
I’m a mushroom
I come up when I feel rather right
When it’s sunny
When it’s rainy
All that weather keeps me on my toes
'Cause don’t ya know

We like to dance
We like to move n groove n
Share all nutrients
With the trees
And the bees
From down below
Under the ground
We WHISPER

Through connections
Just like you humans
Your body and its nerves know what to do
Communicate!
Send those messages!
When you’re hungry, or you’re angry
Or your tongue
starts turning blue!

I’m a mushroom
I’m a mushroom
I’m connected to 90% of all plants!
We do a lot of work
It’s in the earth
Through mycelium
Mycelawut???
Mycelium!
Those little white threads
That connect me to that tree
And your heart to your head

Say it again! Mycelium!
Say it again! Mycelium!
They grow like this
And move like that
Making sure
That the soil
Stays strong and healthy
And free of oil

I’m a mushroom
I’m a mushroom
Here in the Northwest
We love to grow
On rotting trees
Oh they’re the bee’s knees!
On Douglas Fir or even Western Hemlock
We decompose!
And the earth knows
We do this to make room for new life

Look around for us
In a garden or two
We love wood chips
We think they’re real hip
Or catch us on a stump
We often look real plump

But remember some things
Don’t put us in your mouth
Or kick us around
We’re just trying to make the season’s shine

I’m a mushroom
I’m a mushroom
I come up when I feel rather right
A little sign
Of what’s below
And all the love that makes it possible to grow!
