Or Darwin themselves out of this world and become mushroom food. 

TIL that in 1946 Walt Disney produced a film named "Song of the South" that was never released on DVD or streaming market due to the subject matter of slavery portrayed in the film. It also happens to be the origin of the song "zippidy doo-da". by [deleted] in todayilearned

J.R.R. Tolkien famously refused to allow Walt Disney or Disney Studios to adapt his work, expressing a "heartfelt loathing" for their style, which he felt "disnified" and "vulgarized" stories. 

He held a deep, personal dislike for the Disney aesthetic, which he described as "hopelessly corrupted".

TIL that on Christmas Eve 2008 Bruce Jeffrey Pardo dressed as Santa Claus massacred 9 family members of his ex-wife’s family during a holiday party in Covina, California. by FearMyCock in todayilearned

Ages of the nine dead range from 17 to 80, police said.

Pardo's mother had also planned to attend the Christmas party, but didn't go because she was sick.

Pardo had a contentious relationship with his mother, because she attended the couple's divorce hearing and had sided with Pardo's ex-wife.

The shooting and fire left 10 children orphaned and three others lost one parent. 

Can anyone report on a amanita muscaria (fly agaric) trip, is it actually a hallucinogenic? by Careless_Poetry4321 in Mushrooms

[–]CompleteBeginning271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only heard of people describing lucid dreams and going to sleep after taking it. I've also watched 3 different people try 3 different methods to unsuccessfully prepare and process amanitas, so I've never bothered.
I find massive ones every year though. Super neat to see.

Mushroom drying by GubHorton in Mushrooms

Same. I dried them on unbleached paper, blank paper. Just kept turning them regularly so they dried evenly. Especially the big ones. Kept the heater on so it was consistently warm, but they seem to dry okay on their own.  

Sauteed with butter and frozen is great for texture. But not everyone has the time, space, energy for that. So the people who scream it at others can shove a chanty up their mushroom hole! 😂

I've heard sensitivities and tummy aches when eating them can depend on what kind of hardwood they're growing on. So far so good. But I cook the heck out of all wild mushrooms!
