Juliana's Enigma

The Galactica is a species of amanita that I first encountered nine years ago in southern Chile. It was growing on a monkey puzzle tree because there aren't any monkey puzzles in Chile, on Chile Island. And I looked at that mushroom and I felt like I was looking up into a, a, a starred, you know, moonless night and looked totally galactic. So I knew right then and there that that species was, was newBecause I understood the diversity of the area. And I knew that she was called amanita, a Lactica, a very certain energy there.
