Mycelium delves into the mystical world of fairy rings – those captivating natural formations spawned by underground fungal networks. These networks, predominantly led by species like Marasmius oreades, extend outward from a central point, nourishing themselves with organic matter as they sprawl. Their expansion yields nutrients, prompting lush grass growth along the network’s periphery, fashioning the signature ring shape.
In folklore and myth, fairy rings are often ascribed to the whims of fairies, elves, and other fantastical beings, hence their evocative name. Across diverse cultures, these rings are steeped in notions of magic, enchantment, and spiritual import, serving as the muse for countless legends.
In the EP’s final track, “Mycelium”, DELUSIVE RELICS collaborates with Juls Garat from Pilgrims of Yearning.
Mycelium is available on all major streaming platforms including Bandcamp and Spotify.
