Lore Lust & Mushrooms' is about a few people the writer knew in Oxford. It is meant to be amusing, and at times thrilling. Sir Hugo Wilkinson has attempted to prove the existence of other 'beings' who see the Earth as heir 'land'. The professor's studies have attracted a number of intellectuals for various reasons. They have formed an organisation to study the metaphysical possibilities. Their meetings at the home ofTeddy Lascelles, Sir Hugo's successor, is sent into some confusion by Hugo's spiking their drinks. Rather Elysian.
