By the way, never tried them and don't want to

Used to go 'shrooming when I was younger, for the edible ones not the magic ones.

I've never wanted to try them either.

Where I live the Magic mushrooms are rather abundant in the local countyside.
Strangely enough we get a lot of hippy type travelers out mushroom picking in season

Only if you buy them out of season. Best to buy local and in season rather tham some mass produced junk imported and out of season.

Killer tomatoes

94.5% water by weight. Tomato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps the new genome produces cyanide and so the plants don't need as much insecticide. All they have to do now is find a way to get humans to buy them more than once.

Not Gnome, Genome

In the early 1990s what changed the tomato industry was the use of non-ripening mutant genes, genes that came from natural mutations that have been used to extend shelf life in the fruit.

But this has been quite a blunt instrument, because when you slow ripening down you also slow down those other processes like flavour development and colour development.
