The Foraging of Mushrooms in the Woods

Foraging itself is just susch a fascinating thing to think about, because it's easy to di sort of dismiss it this kind of primal thing that we sometimes engage in. I feel like search activities are one of the ways in which human behavior can be most closely compared to what computer programs do. There are some pretty direct analogies actually, having to do with energy expended and efficiency in different ways of searching through randomly organized material.
