I've been wanting to tell you: I like those "dry land fish" you have there.

How mean you to refer to the Cubies as "dry land fish" 'splain me please. I do not see the connection so you will have to guide me through your hebephrenic maze.

Thank you,
Rhizo

Where I'm from mushrooms are called dry land fish. Hence my name........

DLF,

I looked it up and dryland fish only refers to Morchella, a type of mushroom that actually looks like a fish when cut in half. They are tasty!

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella:

Quote:Morels have been called by many local names, some of the more colorful include dryland fish, due to the fact that when sliced lengthwise then breaded and fried, their outline resembles the shape of a fish; hickory chickens, as they are known in many parts of Kentucky; and merkels or miracles, based on a story of how a mountain family was saved from starvation by eating morels.

My picture is actually of psilocybe cubensis(not tasty), an antfarm of a different color.

Yes I know it refers to the tasty ones. It's also used where I'm from to describe the non tasty ones too. People know what shrooms mean...people say dry land fish and everyone just thinks they are talking about edible mushrooms.

DLF,

Makes sense. This is the first I have heard of that term though; it is a great way to obfuscate what you are talking about. Here in America we just say mushies, shrooms, or my personal fav cubies which were the type I used to grow. On cakes much like the one in my avatar. That was one hell of a hobby

Hey DLF! Saw a bunch of your posts before actually seeing your introduction thread so I suppose I'm a little slow there heh but hey anyway!
