Yet, some growers face red tape because mushrooms don’t fit into the standard regulations for vegetables, fruit, meat, etc.  

What do you love about these elusive organisms? What are your favorite mushrooms to forage? Do you use mushrooms as medicine?  If you cultivate mushrooms for sale, how do you manage fruiting and storage to prevent contamination?
