Shaggy Parasol

A large, edible mushroom that often grows on old yard debris and can be found in urban settings. Tasty, wild, and not too hard to find.

“Which is better: to have fun with fungi or to have Idiocy with ideology, to have wars because of words, to have tomorrow's misdeeds out of yesterday's miscreeds?”

My brother told me a joke that goes like this: (It only works in person since it plays on the phonetics of a USA, Boston accent.)

A mushroom walks into a bar, sits, and orders a drink.

Mushroom: Ay! Bartendah, lemme get a gin-n-tonic please
Bartender: (Rudely) Sorry we don't serve mushrooms here.
Mushroom: Ay! But I'm a FUN-guy!? (fun-gi)

"ScienceDaily (July 2, 2008) — In a follow-up to research showing that psilocybin, a substance contained in "sacred mushrooms," produces substantial spiritual effects, a Johns Hopkins team reports that those beneficial effects appear to last more than a year."

My least favorite fungus is athlete's foot, which recurringly plagues me here in the hot, humid subtropics. Tough actin' Tinactin is frequently on my grocery list.
