Shroomin

While out hiking with the wife, in a remote trail, we saw a person 50+yds off trail. I yelled over about what he found. The answer was something like 'turkey shrooms'.

Anyway we kept on hiking (with hand on pistol) till we were out of sight. Even my wife commented to pick it up.
It was weird...

How about this gem buried in the last paragraph: "The health officials and the FDA tracked down the distributor of the mushrooms, finding they were cultivated and imported fresh from China. "
