Intro
On Jan. 13, 2025, I did not fully perceive isomorphism of branching between hands and mushroom-trees.
Figured out a couple days ago, and today a.m. Jan. 29, 2026, while adding lines, I fully specified and developed the mapping between hands and mushroom-trees.
11:21 a.m. Jan. 30, 2026 – why red mushroom-tree has more branching than blue mushroom-tree?
b/c God depicts more branching w/ L hand (Right side of panel) than w/ R hand (Left side of panel) per principle: More branching on L than R. L shows purely branching, no non-branching; R shows branching and non-branching w/ emph on non-branching.
Left Generally Emphasizes Branching; Right Generally Emphasizes Non-Branching
Principle: More branching on L than R.
L shows purely branching, no non-branching; R shows branching and non-branching w/ emph on non-branching.
eg if left hand displays thumb as well as fingers, R hand shows both but w/ fingers visually cut.
Eadwine does the math’l permuts of the genre.

Features and Analysis
Today’s innovations of decoding:
- how to indicate via lines that the purpose of tree 1 vs 2 is to explain that grid cap is to be read as “branching”.
- what to do with the R arm of tree 4.
- blue bones grid cap = knucklebones
- halo of Panaeolus

Motivation for this Page
- announce major advancement over Day 3 analysis of branching/non-branching morphology that was a breakthrough on Jan 13 2025
- add upper (God’s hands) -to-lower part mapping
- to represent proof-purpose of cap of tree 1 vs. 2.
- better explanation of bones in cubensis, can map to knuckles ie map to fingers.
- placed plant names by each plant, not separated. id’d back in Dec. 2020; no one else comes very close.
Timeline of Scholars Analyzing the Mushroom-Trees in Day 3 Panel
- Arthur 2000 is way off, because he’s trying to construct a SOMA recipe, wild poor hypoth: “poppy capsule” (fails basic sim’y match); “rue” (fails basic sim’y match)
- 2001: “Conjuring Eden: Art and the Entheogenic Vision of Paradise” (Hoffman, Ruck & Staples, Entheos 1, 2001), https://entheomedia.net/Issue%20one.htm, https://egodeaththeory.org/2020/12/24/entheos-issues-1-4-mark-hoffman/#Entheos-Issue-1 — doesn’t try to ID the 4 mushroom-trees.
- John Rush 2011/202x – “Opium poppy; Amanita; Cubensis; Amanita”.
- Brown 2016/2019 uses strange non-parallel: one is Cubensis, the other is Psilocybin? Not proper analysis; he gets no further than right ballpark, and bizarrely calls tree 1 Liberty Cap but obviously tree 2 is lib cap not “psilocybin” or “some kind of psilocybin mushroom”. I posted accurate critique of Brown probably Dec. 2020.
- Michael Hoffman Dec. 2020: first accurate, specific id of each mushroom tree.
- Michael Hoffman Jan 13, 2025: discovered sequence progression of branching/non-branching morphology: III IYI YI IY/YI.
- Michael Hoffman: ~Jan 27, 2026 [date: check chat msgs and idea development] – Recognized mapping of blue tree to R hand & red tree to L hand.
- Michael Hoffman Jan 29, 2026: figured out details to represent mappings throughout image.
Huggins Lost Before He Started
By the time Ronald Huggins published his POS article, a fallacy-fest, that glosses over the academic criminality of Wasson’s censorship, and withholds credit from Browns, in 2024, I had already two years earlier, in March 2022, figured out {branching-message mushroom trees}, and {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs, proving that the medieval art genre of {mushroom-trees} means and describes by analogies, the peak high dose psilocybin experience of mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism.
Date of Ronald Huggins article: 2024, todo: day & month.
Mar. 21, 2022 – Announced concept of {branching-message mushroom trees}
https://egodeaththeory.org/2021/01/04/log-of-discoveries-achievements/#branching-message-mushroom-trees
MICA Denier Ronald Huggins bets everything on Great Canterbury Psalter, especially Day 3, and catastrophically loses everything; total victory for entheogen scholars.

Why Ronald Huggins’ Article Was Great for the Egodeath Theory
I am committing the rest of my life to focusing on decoding images of Great Canterbury Psalter because Ronald Huggins helped me by specifically focusing on that book rather than the full set of mushroom imagery in Christian art.
His declaration of proxy war specifically using Great Canterbury Psalter, fatal misstep b/c two years earlier, I had already figured out the medieval art genre of {mushroom-trees} and that Great Canterbury Psalter was best leverage but — like my theory of myth is Western myth (psychedelic religious mythology, including mythic art) supported by World myth,
My special central focus on interp of Great Canterbury Psalter (in particular) is supported by my interp of the medieval art genre of {mushroom-trees} (overall).
Found 5HT2a receptor ideal drug to cancel a trip, when did I post the importance of that before?

Quote from Ronald Huggins “I bet my life on branches prove must be tree, cannot be branches, unless someone explains branches” and “I bet my life on Great Canterbury Psalter, especially Day 3”
todo: fact-check how much Huggins emphasized the Day 3 panel of f11, vs. all images in Great Canterbury Psalter, vs. the medieval art genre of {mushroom-trees}.
John Rush – Day 3 Interpretation

“Rush-John-CH1-ALLPLATES-pdf-day-3.jpg” 947 KB 8:12 p.m. Jan. 29, 2026
John Rush’s Identification of the 4 Plants in Day 3
“different species of mushrooms.
“There is probably a Psilocybin sp. in the center (blue),
“while those flanking it are different species of Amanita.
“The plant on the far left appears to belong to an opium poppy bulb.”
- Opium poppy
- Amanita
- a Psilocybin species
- Amanita
God, you can tell these humanities scholars aren’t STEM: Why on earth do none of them simply LIST:
- Plant 1 is X.
- Plant 2 is X.
- Plant 3 is X.
- Plant 4 is X.
No, it’s always “starting from the right with the king of all psychedelics, Amanita!!” Yuck: unstructured prose, free-form chaos.

Thumb good & true = non-branching
Fingers bad and false = branching
Hide branching fingers under cloth, to be reverent) – to be hyperreligious; or in some way visually cut the fingers to cancel their branching.
Missed IY hand indicating … [!!] [12:24 noon Jan. 29, 2026] – Figured out why God’s thumb is shown and fingers are cut. see recent hand fingers thumb analysis.
Not ENTIRELY a surprise; one aspect of this partic. discovery/solution, is that, since I fully figured out hand shapes the past couple days, on my todo list is to do another pass of decoding hand shapes throughout Great Canterbury Psalter, to apply the new decoding.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Eadwine is like me: my 2001 post on 2 models in physics: branching Quantum Physics vs. non-branching Minkowski spacetime.
Eadwine is like my Watts, in the realm of art. The message he is sending is the same as the message that I am wanting to receive, wanting the artists to send.
Watts is like me: the Way of Zen by Alan Watts resonates w/ how I think: satori as mental model transformation re: personal control system.
