Fungus questions

This is of no particular interest to anyone who doesn’t have to eat what I prepare every night, but I’d sure like an answer to it. Why is it that when I’m serving up something (cheeseburgers, steak) that I want to augment with sautéed mushrooms I invariably forget to put the mushrooms on the plate and have to go back to get them after delivering said plate?

A secondary question: why do I almost always say “marshmallows” when I mean “mushrooms?”

  1. ‘marshmellow’ instead of ‘mushroom’? Freudian slip, or is it because they do have similar shapes? Sometimes a mushroom is just a mushroom, as Sigmund would say.

  2. Mental block (or two) perhaps. Even worse is finding them in the microwave the next morning, when all you wanted to do was make them just a bit warmer.
