   That is actually what I was referring to. I had a couple of beers and   
   took the goofy wizzard of oz approach.   
      
    I even look at the grade of the ground while  walking  in the woods.   
   If I am picking along a field for instance, I will leave the morels   
   that are downhill from the field (actually the ones that are in the   
   runoff area).  I am not interested in eating the chemicals that were   
   sprayed by the farmer . I dont even like to fish ponds that are filled   
   by field runoff.
