I remember when it was Holstein cows.
The Brits seem to have used mushrooms in decor for a long time.
Mushrooms are good in omelettes with swiss cheese.
They were back in the late 60s and early 70s, too. I do not get it.
I have a buddy who hunts, he gave me one of the backstraps from a deer he shot.
I sliced them up into medallions, sautéed them in butter, garlic, and Grand Marnier, along with some dried Morel mushrooms that were dried, and I threw the liquid I used to rehydrate them into the reduction sauce...:)
A magnificent dish...just wonderful.
About 10-15 years ago you had to hang a large metal star on the outside of your house.
Those large bare-stick arrangements in big vases are/were a thing pretty recently. Also flat wooden bowls with random things in them, often fabric balls - sitting on your table or sideboard.
I remember a craft trend in the 1980s. Geese cut out of pine painted blue.
They all look like poison mushrooms.
The thing I couldn’t get was the decorative bowl of large shiny balls about 10 years. I even saw one on the Mark Steyn show. What’s the point?
Mushrooms must be the Demondogs new drug of choice
If you wait long enough, popular things from the past return. Mushrooms were part of home decor in the 1970’s.
Just saw mushroom hut in Jerusalem for Purim.

Beats the 60s appliances. Seems like everyone had avocado colored ones. Or some weird yellow.
The red with white spots are Amanita Muscaria and a potent
hallucinigen. Do not confuse with the other members of the
Amanita family which are deadly poison, with names like
Death Angel and Destroying angel.While it is possible to survive ingestion of those with immediate and massive medical
intervention it is a horrible death.
The Muscarias are often associated with fairys and gnomes,
The Siberian steppe culture shamans would partake of the Muscarias to induce vivid visions and since the active alkoloids are not broken down by the digestive tract the other villagers would collect the shamans urine and drink it for a vision trip themselves. Also thought to be the SOMA of the ancient Vedas.
The stoner crowd is pushing to legalize ‘shrooms.
Two mushroom stories
-I was fortunate to be part of some archeology on the San Francisco Peninsula. It was on the private Filoli Estate. One day, I arrived at the dig site a little early. One of the young skulls full of mush was about to really mush up. He was about to eat some of the wild mushrooms. I screamed, and he did not die. Later, when the professor arrived, he banned the mush head to the lab. No more field work for him.
The other mushroom non-experience was learning how to cross country ski. I was already comfortable with downhill skiing, so it was not too hard. As the group gathered at the start of the day, they started passing around what they called ‘shrooms.’ I declined. Later on, we caught up to the “shroomers” on the trail. They were staring up at a tree, staring and staring, and staring.
Fads. I suspect that the mushroom growers cabal notified their MSM media brethren to push their “mushroom package.”
I am still wondering which pusher cabals of water, in the 1970s, to be sold paid the MSM to push how outrageously filthy our spigot water is which supposedly contains every disease known to mankind with some new, unidentified, killer diseases.
It is a racket. That is all.
Some crappy factory in China picks something at random and then sees how much of it they can pawn off on us.
Subliminal advertising. They want you to crave peyote. Hint: don’t do it!
It was like that in the 70s too
Styles go around and come back around.
