Mushrooms occupy a strange place in our gastronomic consciousness. Simultaneously erotic and repellent, tasting both of nourishment and corruption, springing up like magic yet rotting almost instantly, the mushroom through the ages has inspired countless passages of sententious rubbish like this one. All you need to know about mushrooms is: don't. You never know where they've been. You might be eating poison which will kill you. You might be eating hallucinogens which will make you see things. You might be eating Big Ears's House, with Big Ears inside, fending off Noddy's insane and twisted advances. For that matter, indeed, you might be eating God.
