All of which is precisely why, "I think mushrooms would have to be the only edible thing left on the planet for me to pick a wild one and eat it. I just stick with those white ones in the store."

Coffee is a miracle drug. It raises me from the dead every morning and keeps everyone else from the dead after that...
