Mother has some enormous puff balls in her front garden but after frying up one with butter she's leaving the rest for the slugs. Yes, they're good but not that good that you'd want to eat a pound or so of them.

Now chanterelles, they're different. Fried up with butter with some sour cream added late in the frying, they're heavenly and I probably could scarf up or down several pounds of them. However, you need a good set of running shoes, not to mention a good set of lungs, to be able to catch them in the woods!

I can't seem to think of one folk song that has mushrooms in it...

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
