Pholiota Mushrooms

Pholiota Mushrooms


Fe Fi Pholiota words by Larry Evans music by Zoe Wood


I went out a walking
With my faithful dog
Saw a big yella Pholiota
Growing on a log
I said fe fi Pholiota
Free food hey what a deal!
Fe fi Pholiota
Reckon it’ll make a good meal

Someone’s cooking up a Pholiota
Frying it in butter I can tell
Someone’s cooking up a Pholiota
Nothing else has that smell!

And I say
Fe Fi Pholiota
Never gonna eat em again!
Fe Fi Pholiota
Never gonna eat em again

Some Pholiotas are big ones
Other ones are small
Some of them are good to eat
Some are not at all

Fe Fi Pholiota
Never gonna eat em again!
Fe Fi Pholiota
Never gonna eat em again

Several hundred species Pholiota
Several hundred species I know.
Several hunnered species in the genus Phliota
Alexander Smith says so
(and he wrote the book!)

Fe Fi Pholiota
Never gonna eat em again!
Fe Fi Pholiota
Never gonna eat em again (optional verse)
I woke up in the morning
I was feeling bad
I went to the toilet
And I gave it all I had
