This is just one more reason why I am glad I don't ever eat meat at home.

Absoeffinlutely yes. I saw this photo on Facebook last night but was SO GLAD it was too small to see the maggots.
I have to say that I have deal with maggots before but they weren't anything at all like this. They were teeny tiny housefly maggots. WTF type of fly laid these? Wait, I don't really want to know.
Heheh. Well specifically I think elizafae had King Boletes (porcinis) and those are pretty famous for having major maggotude. I have actually dealt with plenty of maggots in boletes, but they've usually been pretty small and it hasn't bothered me. Sounds like she got SUPER maggoty ones though. Generally I slice the stems open in the field before I bring them home and check for massive maggot infestation. Her neighbor really shoulda done that. :P
Last fall our neighbor brought us a bunch of mushrooms he had foraged. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to force mushrooms upon Mage. Sure, he doesn't like store bought mushrooms, but these thick, chewy, savory morsels were bound to win him over. Right?
So I'm choppin' and throwin' em in the butter and things are sizzilin' and smelling great. When Mage comes up and looks at the mushroom I've been chopping and in horror tells me it's full of worms. Now, you know I can't see so good. I would have never realized but yes. Full of maggots.
Ew! I say, as I toss them in a paper bag and throw them by the trash. I'll take them out later. Cut to the next day, when of course I haven't taken them out. I come home from work to see a black pool on the floor of my kitchen. It looked not unline the black shit from the X-Files. But in it, were hundreds- thousands of wormy little fucking maggots.
Ew.
Needless to say, Mage did not get over his aversion to mushrooms on that day.
I would have helped you stomp maggots. That sounds disgustingly fabulous.
I am not as maggot-squicked as some, though. Except this one time I threw out an ancinet (whole) frozen turkey on a Saturday, and Trash pick-up wasn't until the following Thursday. Holyfuckinghell did I learn my lesson (throw out the ancient frozen meat the morning of trash pick-up), cleaning out the trash can was frightening, but the smell was more nausea-inducing that the wiggly-bits.
