Most of you may not realise that the Energy Caterpillars have a great deal to do with the equation e=mc². It is believed in many circles that the letters stood for the following :-
e = energy, m = mass, c = speed of light.
Well this is not true, would not ‘s’ or ‘l’ of been used for the speed of light. The ‘c’ stands for caterpillar and the ‘m’ for mushrooms. The ‘e’ is indeed correct and does stand for energy.

Energy has to come from somewhere; it does not just appear out of thin air you know! So this energy is created for the world by caterpillars’. The creatures of course keep to a strict rule, so not too much energy is created at one time, that could be very dangerous!!
The caterpillar needs a source to create this energy; the mushroom has a very unique makeup which is ideal for this.

This energy is collected from specially controlled mushroom farms and stored in small cylinder containers, usually just a few centimetres in size. These containers can be used in many of the devices used today.
