While last episode was drowning in information - this week when hunting down mushroom info... it's a bit of a desert.  But no worries, there's still fun stuff to be learned - mainly just what is a mushroom?  And how have humans crossed paths with it - in ways besides tripping out?

Also - how is the lack of information and the limited presence of mushrooms in AMerican food related?

Some answers are here.

Also - The Fantasia clip of Tchaikovsky's "Chinese Dance" will let you see (among other things) open and closed mushrooms - the "li'l-est" one with it's veil more or less intact

Also - that in the 1940's Americans were pretty mushroom clueless
