This is an Easter egg hunt.

This is an Easter egg.

Herman Hesse wrote a book about the deity concerned.

I'm not playing, but do I get pedantry points for pointing out that Siddhartha is not a deity?
Fear of offending religious sensibilities prevents me from revealing that my researches have led me to discover that 'O, Siddhartha' is an anagram of 'do a hard shit', except in very small letters that no sensible person will ever read.

Yes, you are quite right Fex - several billion well deserved pedantry points
(deserved as much for the lol that anagram gave me as anything - you religious bigot.)

Though wiki says of the Buddha:

in some Hindu texts, he is described as an avatar of the god Vishnu

And on that bombshell, I'm off to throw myself off a mountain. All being well, I shall be back later.

Good luck with that. I don't think there are many mountains in Teh Greatness of Yorkshire, though I understand that there are many hillocks.

Which musical instrument has concealed within it a deity, or 3 fruiting bodies of the group Eumycota?

This is a KVR question.

Eumycota consists of four phyla, Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Glomeromycota and Dikaryomycota.

The deity may or may not be Siddhartha, who isn't a god, apparently.

An easter egg is a magic mushroom.

If I type Eumycota and Siddhartha into Google, I get an advert for weight loss. Are you calling me fat? I also discovered that there is a real drug called Soma, and "In the Vedas, Soma is portrayed as sacred and as a god (deva)".

I'm sure all of this will make sense when the answer comes out.

But probably not.

There's not many - though not really alpine in stature, I still think of Ingleborough as a mountain.

An easter egg is a magic mushroom.

In this sense an easter egg is something hidden that you happen across by chance, and is intended as a (nice) surprise.

The mushroom picture is a photo of one of the 'easter eggs', though I have processed the image slightly, so as to make it not too obvious what you're looking at.

And it so happens, I used to own one of these instruments, and discovered the pictured 'easter egg by chance', leading me to the conclusion that instrument had been designed by drug addled hippies for drug addled hippies. I also thought it was a nice surprise (well it made me chuckle a bit).

[vurt]

g media?

[hakey]

g media?

Was it the drug addled hippies bit that made you think that?

No, this is a physical instrument.

You are thinking along kind of the right lines...

[vurt]

the buddha box?

[hakey]

the buddha box?

Never heard of one of them before - I have now*, and it would fit the made for drug addled hippies and Siddhartha, but sorry, no.

*I'm just wondering, if I owned one of these, would it help me overcome my attachment to material goods and so elevate me a little closer to a state of nirvana? - cos I really want one, if they're not too expensive. How much are they?
