I fecking hate mushrooms. :( Scott should be interested in this post mthough. He's been telling me about plants that can control the population size of the animals that feed on them and other interesting related facts lately. :)
I know they're good for me but.... no thanks. :)
Great post and pictures.
I understand your distaste, I've spent the majority of my life disliking them too. There is something about foraging for your own food that makes you give things more of a chance, but to be honest there were still only a few that I liked- I will never like the common kind that you get from the store and even some of the fancier ones you get in restaurants. But puffballs and Maitake, whole different arena of mushroom :)
