Saw some of those pretty A. muscaria at an undisclosed location up the coast last week.
Didn't eat any, though.
You're a mushroom man? Music folklore says that John Cage become an expert on the subject because, as a young man, he obsessively read the "Music" entry in every encyclopedia he could find. He also always read the preceding entry, usually "Mushroom."

By no means the only one around here. VS is probably more active than I am. We debate taxonomy here.

SFJoe still loses a few dinner guests every now and then - he opens a number of wines at once, and you are supposed to know which ones are the antidote.

On a hike through the Rhododendron park on the Mendo coast years ago, we ran across a gigantic A. muscaria with a single, large bite taken out of one edge. I spent the rest of the hike looking for a twisted coyote.

This doesn't sound like a hard game to play. Just drink some of all of them. Surely those he loses are fulfilling their Darwinian obligation of getting their stupid selves out of the gene pool quickly.

(In any case, I find manatee fat a better braising medium for babies. They apparently find the fat soothing, and fuss too much otherwise.)
Speaking of Manatee, did anyone see the bit in the recent Art of Eating about food in Naples that talked about serving baby manatee to the allied commander in celebration of the allied arrival? They called it something really cool, but it escapes my memory right now.
If manatee is "sea cow," does that make baby manatee "sea veal?"
cheers,
Kevin

From John Irving's "Cucina Povera" article in AoE:
(quoting Norman Lewis)
"All Neapolitans believe at the banquet offered to welcome General Mark Clark -- who had expressed a preference for fish -- the principal course was a baby manatee -- the most prized item of the aquarium's collection -- which was boiled and served with a garlic sauce." (The Tuscan writer Curzio Malaparte, present at the banquet, claims the manatee was presented in the menu as "Siren mayonnaise with a border of coral.")

Ah, but can you also perform the ambient sounds that it intended to draw attention to?
