Mushrooms

To most of us mushrooms are a fleshy, spore-bearing fungus that humans use for a variety of reasons, mostly as food. Besides the obvious images we have of mushrooms as foods, medicines, dyes and psychotropic agents, mushrooms can inspire other images.

Shiitake can be for folks who don't take shii from anyone. If I have Portobello on my pizza I'll get a portly belly. In Germany you can order dinners with either Pilz or Champignon; who wants to swallow some bitter pilz when they can have the Breakfast of Champignons.

OK, put your "button" the ground and listen because the "morel" of the story is you're a "fungi".
