Visitors from Another Planet



The three freakiest things on this earth are mushrooms, spiders, and eyeballs. (Okay, maybe the penis ranks up there too.) This is how trumpet mushrooms are cultivated!

I didn't even take this photo; a co-worker took it on their recent visit to Gourmet Mushrooms, Inc. in Sebastopol, California. As much as I wanted to go, what with my fascination with mushrooms and all, I just couldn't, because someone unbearable was going and I thought if I had to listen to her pontificate while trapped in a tour van with her I would probably projectile vomit on her face and ruin the trip for everyone with my stomach acids and half-digested breakfast.

Some people think mushrooms are visitors from another planet, and I am one of those people...
