  It is probably the very first mushroom to evolve communication skills. It was a lucky find for sure. Posted 4 years ago

      Well, it would be totally 'American' of me to assume it was speaking English and was using the slang for 'hello'. So, it must be an acronym of some sort. Any ideas? "Hairy Itch"? "Happy Instrument"? Posted 4 years ago

        Hairy Itch sounds most relatable. You're so good at these puzzles! Posted 4 years ago
