Farewell Mr. Mushrooms * 18
    #14058238 - 03/03/11 02:31 AM (13 years, 2 days ago)

The retired moderator and long time Shroomery enthusiast, Mr. Mushrooms, has passed away.  MM was a very passionate and yet very private person, and he will be missed dearly by the Shroomery community and no doubt by those close to him.  As respect to his privacy, I think MM would prefer that the details of his passing not become public, however I will say that he died in January, although I am only recently and vaguely informed of his death. 

This past summer I was supposed to meet Mr. Mushrooms at a mycological foray, but we did not end up finally crossing paths...  It is much to my regret that I never had the occasion of meeting him, though I know a few Shroomerites were so lucky.

I will miss his oddly and intensely passionate-to the point of obsessive-nature, and his strange sense of humor.  He was always very helpful and encouraging of my mushroom passion, and always amusing to speak with. 

Mr. Mushrooms, you were a legendary Shroomerite.  I wish I could have said 'good bye'.  Your presence here will not be forgotten!




Quote:

Mr. Mushrooms said:
I will confess something that should be quite obvious, CC.  I love mushrooms, i.e. fungi.  I really do.  I am talking about a strong feeling, i.e. emotion, for them.  I think they are beautiful.  I even dream of them.

Oh wow. That's some very sad news. He was a friend. I exchanged the last PMs with him in December when he wished me a Merry Christmas and said he'd mail me something in January if his health permitted it. I didn't even think that things were in any way serious. Now this explains why I haven't heard from him since.
The passing of this kind human being is a true loss. A personal one as well as one for the whole shroomery community.

Godspeed, Mr. Mushrooms. :heart:

I will miss you friend...

A Tear And A Smile 

 
  I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
For the joys of the multitude.
And I would not have the tears that sadness makes
To flow from my every part turn into laughter.

I would that my life remain a tear and a smile.

A tear to purify my heart and give me understanding
Of life's secrets and hidden things.
A smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind and
To be a symbol of my glorification of the gods.

A tear to unite me with those of broken heart;
A smile to be a sign of my joy in existence.

I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live Weary and despairing.

I want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the
Depths of my spirit,for I have seen those who are
Satisfied the most wretched of people.
I have heard the sigh of those in yearning and Longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.

With evening's coming the flower folds her petals
And sleeps, embracingher longing.
At morning's approach she opens her lips to meet
The sun's kiss.

The life of a flower is longing and fulfilment.
A tear and a smile.

The waters of the sea become vapor and rise and come
Together and area cloud.

And the cloud floats above the hills and valleys
Until it meets the gentle breeze, then falls weeping
To the fields and joins with brooks and rivers to Return to the sea, its home.

The life of clouds is a parting and a meeting.
A tear and a smile.

And so does the spirit become separated from
The greater spirit to move in the world of matter
And pass as a cloud over the mountain of sorrow
And the plains of joy to meet the breeze of death
And return whence it came.

To the ocean of Love and Beauty----to God.

Khalil Gibran

Oh fuck!

Argh! This is the nail in the worst day I've had in a while.


I have had the pleasure of dealing with Mr. Mushrooms, or what I liked to call him, Uncle(long story but the short is: We chatted on irc and we became close. Uncle was what I called him) for a while now and this is a shock to me. It wasn't long ago that I was helping him grow some cactus via the internet.

This is sad news. I always like reading his posts, such an awesome member here. He had offered to do some microscopy for me on a sp i couldn't ID. This would explain why i haven't heard from him.

Mr. Mushrooms' posts here have been highly knowledgable, encouraging, friendly, brilliant.  When he described himself as old I thought he was kidding because of his youthful attitude.  Condolences to everyone who knew him.  :heart:

CureCat thank you for posting about him.

Mr.Mushrooms payed me compliment once.  It wasn't because of what I did that made me proud, but because of who it was that was giving me the complement.

Hopefully the prints I sent gave him 1 moment of pleasure in the great eternity of time.

I was wondering where he went...shame.  I didn't know him well, but I appreciate all the help he has given me on identification and all the stuff I learned from reading his posts over the short time I saw him here.

Wow, I was wondering where he went. Man, I wish he were still here. His advice and criticisms were a most important part of Shoomery. Thanks for making 99 to 2010 some of the best years on the shroomery, Mr. Mushrooms. May your elements be distributed to those creatures which you loved so dearly.


All of you stay safe and healthy.
