Splintered Blog 12: (Mostly) affordable morels

     Have you seen how fast the fungal rates are rising lately? Absurd! (Though not entirely unexpected.)

     This assessment doesn’t only apply to monetary considerations but also the net effect of their very existence. And no, I’m not merely throwing out truffle tantrums to conflate equation with conviction. That sort of thing is both postulative and presupposed.

     Any old dirt farmer may turn his world on words of wisdom, some of which can be found in manuals, while many are manually inactive. That is to say that taking a hands-on approach offers a more fully grounded perspective (temporarily sticking with the dirt analogy) but often through delusion soils the whole endeavor. Sometimes haphazard planting has discreet advantages, otherwise being clued-in to variable decay rates saves a lot of extra effort if the only long-term goals are putrid anyway.

     Which, for all intents and purposes isn’t any more enabling than a planned detraction would enact.

      Anyway…

   Showing off the latest juicy unearthed artifact can set the boundaries for subsequent enablements and drive the price up higher than might be proportionally reported. (The whole process is dense and cliquey, hardly ever estimating what the hoarders can distort.)

     Sadly, even though the tag reveal may hawk a sweeter deal the hidden cost will vary, sometimes overblown until the only option is to fast track a mildly pandering rebrand and fully fund the very thing that shouldn’t be disputed in the first place. Can you imagine all the fallout if the forthright claims are handled with a valid form of payment when direct deceptions undermine their own contentions and demand a higher holding only to be told the pending credit plan is barely even managing?

     This, it seems, is more the norm than most would challenge even if their appetites demanded something succulent. Afforded most comportments any fetid growth should find itself delighted by contained decay since all it ever wanted was a chance to fully flourish in the absence of inherent worth. Thus it’s tendency to come across as toxic varies, driving up it’s own net worth and leaving seekers reeling from the sticker shock.

     Truly less refined varieties can still be found and flagged to meet demand while pricey versions stand the test of time if not immediately rebranded. This alone should set a fairly common standard so the real distinction isn’t set against its own capacity to flog a lasting legacy.

     Since by that time even deftly sautéed caps are seldom very satisfying.
