Fungus Mongers Among Us

fungi farmer harvester Laguiole knife in hand finger nails blackened

by the ground underfoot consisting mostly of local limestone

dormant oaks stark apple trees coveting the black gold of Perigord

digging and carving fungi through the early morning dew

moisture forming their exotic asexual reproduction

olfactive senses stirring earthly agrarian tastes

mingling with foie gras omelettes stews pastas

merde but that is good
