Mushrooms have been around for many millions of years, and took part in the development and maintenance of plant and animal life on Earth, including human life. They have been part of human diet from prehistoric ages. They have also been used as medicine and to induce altered states of mind.
Their sudden and peculiar appearance, and rapid growth make them seem (almost) supernatural, no wonder they so often appear in illustrations for fairy tales and fantasy stories. Mushrooms are associated with the beauty of the forest, and considered a good-luck symbol. In some cultures, they represent fertility and immortality.
Morels are edible spring mushrooms, valued highly by gourmet cooks. They have a peculiar appearance due to the ridges on their caps. They are not easy to find, some say that the morel decides if it wants to be seen.
