by Ted Guhl
this mushroom appears to fuse its stalks
assuming a common bulb
ample evidence exists
in its cleft foot
and seperate stipe
we are dealing with two individuals
one cap is glabrous
the other scaly
on this one hangs a universal veil
this stalk is pubescent
(which one is toxic?)
while of the same genus
the species is variable
mycrophagists engage at risk
