Fair enough, but that exact same argument applies to nearly every thing humans eat, so I guess we have our answer to every iteration of "why did people first eat...?" It applies equally to corpses and mushrooms.

Plus it's not like we just started eating corpses and mushrooms as modern humans; our pre-human ancestors ate them too. There wasn't exactly a moment of "Hey, Caveman Bob found a dead thing, let's see if it's tasty!"

Although I do imagine there was some sort of natural selection in the process. Or the Jackass Effect came into play...
"Hey Urg, me dare you eat mushroom."
"Urg not know..."
"Look at Urg, big terrorbird afraid of mushroom! Buck, buck, bacaw!"
"Fine, Urg eat mushroom!"
*Five minutes later*
"How mushroom Urg?"
"Urg not feeling too good. Urg has vomiting, cramps, delirium, convulsions and diarrhea. Urg feeling this might be the effects of Amatoxin, which results in the complete and irreversible destruction of liver and kidneys."
And that, good people, is how people learned to stay away from the Destroying Angel mushroom.
Just one last little point, corpse usually refers to the remains of a human being, while the equivalent term for animals is carcass, especially one that has been killed for meat. While there is a certain degree of interchangeability between the two, its generally considered you use carcass for animals, usually because it sounds a little more gruesome than corpse. Probably because corpsing is when an actor has an unexpected bit of laughing on stage, like when an actor is supposed to be dead and they giggle.
Corpse doesn't really do much, while carcass invokes something of a more visceral imagining.
sitnspin:
I don't see a difference between a dead human body and a dead body of any other animal. Dead is dead, a corpse is a corpse, meat is meat.

Obsessive-compulsive, neurotic, anxiety-ridden, surprisingly adorable.
Everythings here today. But there´s one thing more that should be added to the cast description:
Floofy

Hannelore has come along way since she was first introduced. She used to cut her hair short for hygienic purposes, but that must not be a problem anymore considering how much it's grown out or maybe this is another one of those things she has blissfully ignored and could be a problem again if she thinks about it.

At least Dora didn't have to use Hanners Reset Button
