This is sad news to hear.

I chatted with Matt a couple times, he was a really kind and genuine person.

He will be missed.

A skilled mycologist and a compassionate person, thank you for your words of encouragement over the years, it meant a lot to me. I will miss you Matthew.


Among other things, he was the first to find Psilocybe caerulipes here at the Shoomery.



Matt walked with giants, may he rest in peace. :heart:

wow, sad news. here's Mr Mushrooms last photo he sent me in December



this is the P Subaeruginascens/ovoids conical type found in San Francisco that's proving difficult to cultivate, and he was working on it and said he would post in forums whenever something important happened

Basically, he was not convinced this conical type is related to Ovoids in Ohio and said the mycelium grows 'slow as hell' and all I know is that he had some of it buried already somewhere near him

whatever he did with the print, maybe it'll keep going for years and years. I got a feeling things he left behind will sprout

RIP, Mr Mushrooms you will be missed

PS, is that really him in the first photo?

If you look at it close, it kinda looks like a get-up 'cause you can see his blue jeans beneath his "robe."

I feel like someone close to me died, even though we never met irl.
This is a hell of a shocker.

He was the only one to give me a chance when I 1st posted in PSnP.

I miss you MM.

This may have been his last thread.

Mr. Mushrooms said:
My how time flies.

It only seems like yesterday I was riding with my Dad on the way to our construction job when a newscast interrupted one of the muzak radio stations, the kind that never reported the news, said,  "Last night former Beatle, John Lennon, was shot and killed outside his apartment in New York City."

Every year, this day, the tragedy descends again.  The wound opens and all the memories of John, the Beatles, and things associated with him and them come flooding back.  A madman, a so-called "Jesus Freak," murdered a man of peace.  Some people are really sick.

After his death I moved to NYC and built skyscapers but John was the real reason I was there.  I actually met David Peel, John's former associate/friend and the president of Orange Records.  Later, after I moved back home, David sent me a handwritten letter asking me to come back and live with him.

Psychology 101: why do some people murder other's heroes?

Two years ago I made this video for John and posted it on YouTube.



RIP John.  You are remembered and missed. :heart:

:Imagine: :peace:




RIP MM, You too are remembered and missed. :heart:

:smoker:What can I say? I'm devastated...Mr. Mushrooms was a close, personal friend of mine. Mr. M. was an extremely private person, so I wont say much and I hope he forgives me for sharing this, but I need the therapy.

I've hunted with Mr. Mushrooms on several occasions, in fact, he was the first person I've ever hunted mushrooms with. I can personally attest to his almost child-like fascination with fungi. I was quite noobish the first time we hunted together, and was amazed at Mr. M's excitement over what I at the time considered mundane things. I suppose I was like a child myself, as I kept asking "What's this? What's that?" There was a definite respect for each others' curiosity. 

Once, during a morel hunting road trip, the axle in Mr. M.'s vehicle broke...many miles from home... in a state park...on a Sunday. We spent pretty much the entire day pushing the vehicle, locating some tools, going to the auto parts store, and replacing the axle with Dannyglick's help. Afterward, he took his copy of Mushrooms Demystified, wrote a note of thanks on the cover page and gave it to me. He had to go buy a replacement copy for himself... so yeah...:crazy:

Mr. M. definitely encouraged my passion for mushrooms and was probably the main reason I stuck around the Shroomery. He personally coached me on how to find morels. Suddenly, for me, mushroom hunting has become more and less meaningful at the same time. I feel wounded.:sad:

Very well said, Koraks.

I miss him too, Falcon.

I dream of mushrooms too, Mr. M.

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.

That was a good read, bobzimmer. I never met Matt in person, but what you tell about him fits perfectly in the mental picture I have of him.

Oh wow, this is terrible news. :frown:

I have spoken to Matt a fair bit in the past, although not for quite a while. I even spoke to him on the phone once, which considering I live in Australia, I thought quite surprising. He was clearly a beautiful human being and an incredible contributor to the community here. He will be sorely missed, both for his knowledge and for his personality, which so often helped to mediate problems and issues when people expressed them, as well as bringing a lighter yet intelligent tome to many threads.

Wow... My few experiences with Mr. Mushrooms were kind and I am sad that I never had a chance to get to know him a little better - he truly sounds like an influential person.

:sad:

Rest In Power Mr. M!!

Mr. Mushrooms was really cool.  I will miss the three minute phone calls that somehow turned into four hour phone calls and his passionate dislike for dna sequencing.  I sequenced some of his collections and I guess he will never see the results.  He was really good about sending out collections and always had excellent packaging.  Also he sent me a lot of other cool stuff and I really appreciate it. 

He was a great user to trade with and always had the highest standards of integrity. 

He may have been around 54 or so but never acted like he was over 25.  I hope that I am that awesome when I am in my 50's. 

We had agreed to do some serious work on Gymnopilus and I guess that will never happen. 

His passing is a poignant reminder that any of us can go at any time and its really important to make good use of our time by cultivating meaningful relationships with others.  He was really good at that.
