who likes mushrooms? not the hallucinogenic kind, rather shiitake?

personally i hate mushrooms, but i think this is the coolest thing ever:

it seemed cool to me at first, but then as I thought about it, like the grossest thing ever. growing yr own fungus?? ugh. unsanitary? I don't know.

[santosha]

but people eat it, so i can't imagine it's unsanitary.

though, you've hit the nail on the head as to why i don't do mushrooms, because hello! fungus. i don't eat fungus. don't talk to me about cheeses. i'm "lalallalaing" on that one.

[mamaste]

but, I mean, it's just your house, so what if some weird household fungus or outdoor variety comes in and mutates your shiitakes or whatever? I mean, I'm not a mushroom grower, how would I know?? that's what I mean.

[santosha]

oh. hmmm. well, i don't know. science experiment! i still think it's neat.

Ooh! Shiitakes aren't cheap, either.... not that we eat them because we don't, but I was just hanging out with a produce price list yesterday...

i used to see shiitake mushroom logs at the super-crunchy eugene, oregon, saturday market all the time. i always thought, yeah, cool, but not, somehow, something i want to grow or eat or partake of or whatever.

i'm getting a big kick, tho', out of the fact that now it's semi-swanky redenvelope.com who's marketing these mushroom logs. is that a step up from the eugene saturday market? or a step down? i can promise you this. they weren't $38 at the saturday market!

[santosha]

and i was thinking 38 was a good price!

(ps. hi! we friended eachother!)
