LOL.

Drifting OT but I've never dared although I have tasted fresh field mushroom. Granny Westbury was supposed be good (as she was with most things growing wild) she knew where the best horse mushrooms (something I've not tasted but they sound great) were as well as how to correctly find the field type. Not through biological knowledge but through an old type of countryside knowledge I wish I had.
