I am told that Bilbo, before his Adventures began, would walk, the Shire to seek the queen of the fungi. To search was the compulsion. Driven by taste, for the mysterious Fruit of the forest floor. When asked, he would say, To savour the wild delight has nothing to compare, To the humble taste of a spud, or sprout, Just an ecstasy of unparalleled delight. Knowing you have found the woody nutty treasure. Of the queen of the forest floor. Tis the biggest adventure a hobbit needs To test his might against the mighty mushroom.
But then he had yet to meet ... A wizard and a dwarf.
