This is so interesting @nateonsteemit that I'm going to go into more research on these. I love fungi as far as noticing them and admiring them on nature walks. I love to eat mushrooms and have grown my own just from the little kits, like oyster mushrooms, but have not got to the stage of feeling safe enough to identify any in the wild and eat them.

When I was a child we used to 'hunt' morel mushrooms which taste like steak when they are cooked.
