Don't Dismiss the Mushroom

Mushrooms don't have many frills, 
but they seat frogs and they have gills,
so, I don't dismiss them out of haste,
especially considering their taste.

Wow, that sounds pretty good. Cheese, mushrooms, and toast - what could be better? Maybe, add some onion and hot peppers...and avocado. I think I know that story you're talking about -lol...yep, gotta be careful with mushrooms. I know people who forage for them, and it would make me nervous - you need to know which is which.
