That wouldn't surprise me... they're loving delicious.

it's because of very limited supply. they are very hard to cultivate, so they mostly grow in the wild. so most people have to actually forage for them.

It sounds like such a cool hobby, but I don't trust myself enough not to pick some delicious, but fatal morsel.

Yeah I wouldn't touch wild mushrooms unless I was a mycologist.

It's a self correcting problem though.

It's more like "Someone had to observe wild animals eating them no problem, someone had to carefully rub mushroom dust on their skin first, someone had to lick them without any adverse effects, someone had to cook them thoroughly first" and so on.

I chalk it up to a couple things:

1) A bunch of Silicon Valley types just pulled their money out of banks

2) Bitcoin's big marketing thing is that oh, it's for when the fiat currencies inevitably collapse because the future is TECHNOLOGY and not STATES and the people who buy into that are disproportionately in Silicon Valley

I mean, it's certainly not good, but it makes as much sense as anything happening in this nonsense economy presently.

Badgers burrowing below railway tracks have wreaked havoc on train services in the Netherlands, causing cancellations and line closures.

Trains in the north and south of the country have been affected, with some services halted for at least a week.

The line between Den Bosch and Boxtel in the south was closed on Tuesday after the mammals dug under the tracks.

Officials said it was not clear how long the problem would continue as badgers were a protected species.

lol that's pretty hosed up because people can have pretty wildly different reactions to certain safe but not for commercial sale sort of mushrooms.

Also a bunch of mushrooms have bad reactions to alcohol.

Yeah, that's all kinds of hosed up - you should always avoid pigging out on a species you've never had before just in case you personally have a reaction to it. My wife has this with winecaps, which is unfortunate because the ones I cultured under the blackberries have busted out of their chip pile and are marching through the orchard on a mission of conquest. I eat a lot of winecaps at certain times of the year.

I think the worst "you should sell this" encouragement was for Western Big Leaf maple syrup. Eastern Sugar maples are the fat totally domesticated and predictable Persian cat sleeping on your couch, WBL are the one-eyed feral barn cat that might accept a scritch behind the ears today but might try to take your hand off tomorrow. The only way I could see monetizing it would be to sell the idea of WBLM syrup - festivals, stuffed toys, mascots, starter kits, that sort of thing. Kind of like chinchilla and bullfrog farming in the 1930s-1940s.

I guess now we've got crypto and don't need bullfrogs anymore.

Deeply saddened we don't have badgers here. As I get older my beard is developing the same streaks, they're obviously my spirit animal.
