Veracruz is full of the more unusual stuff - 50% of the species I see I don't recognize. Oaxaca is even better, 75% I don't recognize.

Its not hard, anyone can fly to Mexico. The fungus fair in mid August in Michoacan would be a good chance for new people to visit.

Loquats are a fruit native to southeastern China. The fruits taste like a cross between a kiwi, plum, orange, peach and mango.

Cheilocystidia look so much better before they are squashed under a cover slip.

They blued pretty well. They look and taste very active, but I didn't eat any because I was swamped with microscopy every night.

Great thread, great pics, I loved the angular spores on Psilocybe neoxalapensis, that is really weird.
So, I gotta ask, when are you going to write a book?

Great finds, thanks for sharing!
I didn't know that Guepinia helvelloides grows in subtropical regions.
They grow 2 km away from my house and now I see them grow in Mexico. 
Must be a very adaptive species.

I'm seriously considering doing it either this year or next.. The media portrays Mexico as dangerous but you make it look like paradise.

I don't know, I have never felt unsafe there and no one has taken any of my stuff. Depends on where you are. There are some places it would be bad to go; the locals know where these places are and my friends don't let me go there.
I feel more unsafe in Oakland at night.
If you are out looking for mushrooms every day and camping out, no one is going to bother you.
Mexicans are no more likely to be criminals than any other people. They are very cool, and on average they care about random people more than most people do in the US. Complete strangers often treat me like family.
In Mexico, the police rarely do anything, so people pretty do much whatever they want. I drive an older 4wd suv with Mexican plates and mushrooms piled nearly to the ceiling. Occasionally the cops / army / federal police search it but they just take a quick look and send us on our way.

No, I saved it for a few days, hoping it would make some spores. It never did though.

That's what I figured. I have a buddy from Michoacán, I'm going to convince him to spend a summer down there with me since my Spanish is terrible and I've only been to Mexico once.. Thanks for the inspiration
