For a very long time I spurned all fungi. They were, after all, saprophytes and I really had no desire to eat something that grew and fed on the dead.

Then, one day I realized that everything feeds on the dead -- that we're all saprophytic.

I've enjoyed mushrooms ever since.

Morels...wild...soak 'em in salt water to kill any bugs and fry 'em up in GOOD butter....
