John Cage (1912–1992): composer, music theorist, writer, philosopher, artist and mycologist.
"I have spent many pleasant hours in the woods conducting performances of my silent piece...At one performance, I passed the first movement by attempting the identification of a mushroom....The second movement was extremely dramatic, beginning with the sounds of a buck and a doe leaping up to within ten feet of my rocky podium."
Cage, John 1961, Silence, Wesleyian University Press, p. 276.
