    Is Capitalism Morel?

    Looks like someone could make a tasty profit from growing these shrooms.

    LINK.

    Anyone ever grow plant or animal life for the market?

    I have picked and sold Morels before. Made a fair bit of change if I remember right. Had to fight off the hippies, asians, mexicans, rednecks, and dopers though. Some folks get pretty nasty about protecting their favorite picking grounds.

    One of the pipefitters at the Coors Brewery in the Shenandoah Valley used to find lots of these mushrooms around the facility. He was from Utica, NY, and seemed to have a knack for knowing exactly where they grew. They must be really good, people paid a fortune for them. I never tried any, even though I'm a huge mushroom fan. I prefer the commercially grown mushrooms, less likely to be poisoned.
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
