“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.” — Sarah Addison Allen
“Humans are, by nature, pattern-seeking animals, and we are quite adept at telling stories about patterns whether they exist of not.” — Michael Shermer
Not a delicate pastry crust, but a fungus—turkey tail, to be specific.

They may be enjoyed as tea and many have been found to fight infection and different types of cancers.
