slimy, hairy, or fuzzy. Some wear a hat, a 'skirt', or can even
move. Wild mushrooms are enjoyed by an increasing number of
locavores, vegans and wild food enthusiasts. Chefs everywhere are
foraging wild foods, including mushrooms. Mushroom hunting tours
have become popular, and mycolophiles are sharing their enthusiasm
and identification tips online.Astounding Mushrooms invites readers
