"Now seeds are just dimes to the man in the store
And the dimes are the things that he needs,

"You purchased a miracle here for a dime."
- Edgar A. Guest

We bulldoze wetlands, clear-cut forests, and poison soil — all while claiming superiority.
Meanwhile, a mushroom quietly does what our entire chemical industry struggles to achieve:
Break down toxins and create abundance.
Intelligence without wisdom is just arrogance with tools.
A pantry staple. I make quasi-croutons with these as well. Don't soak, just toss with olive oil and seasonings and toast (pan or oven) for a few minutes. Crunchy on salads.
