2010 a fungal year

While in Florida this Christmas I made the family a mushroom risotto. I really just made it up, but it turned out to be to everyone's liking (including my own) so I got to thinking about mushrooms. Then Z suggested we cook together and I made this guy right here

It was good enough that I wanted to drink the liquid that it was cooking in. It was nice too because you could taste the differences between the different mushrooms.

So, maybe I'll make a lot more mushrooms in these uncertain times.

did you all know that mushroom spores derived from outer space and are one of the earliest forms of life on this planet! Talk about a certainty in uncertain times.

I really hate the word "spores." Also, "spawn." Maybe something about the "sp" is off-putting.
