I like my fungi sauteed in butter in a pan with a chopped clove of garlic, parsley and plenty of salt and pepper. Or sliced and simmered in chicken stock with arborio rice and topped with parmesan cheese in a creamy mushroom risotto.

Blue Sky Fungi
One day I'll write some thing That will make this planet sing It may not be perfect For anybody, even me We'll have to wait and see... If the blue sky fungi Sail below the window Of my jet airliner You'll know I wrote something That made this planet sing! One day I'll be King And someone else will sing Songs I weave from words Like...
