them. I won't pick 'em. And they grow when the red-topper grows too

AV: How do they differ from the red-toppers

JS: Well if they was growin' you would see because I would show you

DM: That's why we want to stay here a whole year, that's exactly why

JS: Now the night that we were pickin' them light ones, them whole [?] pickin[?]
that they call them, them's good you can eat them, them's good, don't be afraid
of them, then there's a mushroom that has milk in it, you break it and see the
milk comin out, well they eat them too because I know this here Falatko's when
we lived up above they use to pick them and they used to put them on a stove and
bake them on a stove or take them and put them on a toaster and bake them, and
salt them up and they [?] use to eat 'em but I didn't bother 'em

AV: What do they call those things

JS: The ones with the milk

AV: Yeh

JS: Milk mushrooms yeh

DM: Like a milk weed that some white comes out it's not really milk, I'm sure

JS: It's just the color of milk, just looks like milk

AV: And what do you call the ones that you used to use to polish your shoes

JS: Rams head

MS: No the ones you shine your shoes

JS: Oh the shoe polish, you find them, and when it's ripe enough, because when
it's young the shoe polish ain't good enough in it but when it's ripe you
can take and break and shine your shoes with the goddam thing

DM: I thought they were just called puff balls, is that what you're talking about

JS: Yeh it looks like a puff ball only these here are shoe polish

DM: What color are they when you see them on the ground

MS: Brown on the top

JS: Oh yeh there's a lot of funny things in the woods, my god almighty
