Fungophobia: a trait inherited from the British. Fungophobia is defined as the belief that mushrooms are actively hostile at worst and worthless at best. - All That the Rain Promises and More
"In a fungophobic (mushroom loathing) society such as ours, it takes a certain boldness and curiosity to seek out mushrooms, and creativity to put them to good use. North American mushroom hunters are an unusually bold, curious, creative, even iconoclastic and bizarre bunch that have nourished and enhanced my life immeasurably."- David Arora, author of Mushrooms Demystified and All That the Rain Promises and More
