Mushrooms

Bloggers writing about mushrooms are most likely to be cooks sharing their recipes, or diners sharing their love of the fungi.

But mushrooms are also used for more food. They are also used as recreational drugs. Some bloggers are writing about hallucinogenic magic mushrooms, which are illegal in some jurisdictions.

Others are enjoying the glorious photogenic qualities of wild mushrooms and other fungi - or seeking to identify those that they've found.

But do be careful, for some bloggers are noting deaths that have occurred when poisonous and non-poisonous species have been confused.

• “Sons of Anarchy” recap: Balm

  
  Channel Guide Magazine — Authority: 472
  By Stacey Harrison Credit: Prashant Gupta / FX A few recaps ago, I lamented that Sons of Anarchy seemed to be resorting too often to that tired cliche of action movies, wherein a character gets shot or maimed but never killed. This allows the story to mine some cheap dramatic tension without really delivering ...

  I really like to cook Italian food. Im not really sure why, but its my favorite cuisine to prepare. The problem is, it can get pretty heavy on the carbs if youre not careful.
