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.
