I can remember hearing Matt yelling at me to get my ass moving as I staggered downstairs with my hangover to go hunting with him.

I had had the privilege to hunt with him for several hours. He was so professional about hunting and collecting mushrooms I was in awe, and felt like a turd compared to him.

He had an awesome sense of humor and after only a few moments of being around Matt, you felt as if you'd always known him.

He was a voice of reason. When he believed strongly about something, he let it be known. He was a big strong man. It's hard to believe he is gone.

I for one miss him terribly. I wish we could hunt one more time together.

Goodbye Mr. Mushrooms. Later on man.

He was really good about sending out collections and always had excellent packaging.



I received my first (rather large) collection of exotic active spore prints from him accompanied by a real nice letter even though I had hardly spoken with him before. I didn't only keep the prints, but also saved the letter. You won't find a more openhearted person than him. Even though we disagreed on our views of the World and its creation and such it would be a so much better place if more people were like Matt.

Quote:

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.



Amen.

"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:"



Hey bob z,i think that was the foray i was supposed to attend and couldn't make it because i had vehicle problems as well.I had contacted him to let him know that i couldn't make that particular trip and he said that the whole trip turned into a big shitstorm and that he would plan another for this year,:sad: Ill always look back at that as a missed opportunity to meet a seemingly extraordinary person and one hell of a mushroom hunt :sad:
He will be missed but not forgotten!

The picture was taken during one of the first NE gatherings back in 2003. He is indeed wearing a Gandalf Mask. :smile: So happy to read this and see how many he touched. We had a similar ride in that old (blue?) van of his... We went to Bob Smoleys Cactus World together. He taught me a lot more about attitude than mushrooms. He will be truly missed.

This is quite a shock. RIP MM.

While I didn't know MM too well personally, I know/have read many of his posts contributions over the many years. RIP.

I spoke with Senore Hongos on many occasions since Ive been here at the Shroomery. He was always quick to help with an ID or just basic info if you needed it. Seeing good people around you move on is a part of life and it is sad, but Bobs story about his experience with Matt put a smile on my face because its stories like that, that keep those people close to us in our heaarts and minds forever. Someone that alot of us never met in person that can make that much of an impression on you is obviously a special person. Being sad he is gone is natural but let those memories and stories you have of him live on in your hearts and be happy that you were able to have those moments. Lifes short, love one another. Rest in Peace Senore Hongos

Noooooo.


I haven't signed in in quite some time due to a new career, but this is not the first thing I wanted to read. He lived about 20 minutes from me and was somewhat of a mushroom mentor for me since he knew my local habitats. It's ironic, I was telling one of my usual mushroom hunting companions about him this weekend, saying how he was an OG mushroom hunter.

R.I.P.

this is nuts and i thank wiscokid for letting me know of this since ive been busy as hell since my trip to mexico.

Bob i had no idea matt was your mentor!!! holy christ ,i didnt know you guys even knew each other personally. your story like already said made my eyes water.


so my first experience with MM since i rejoined 2 years ago was his interest in my flat semilanceatas and my interesting different field stuntziis. this guy hounded me like no other! i said i would give him prints no worries but i am a bit of a burnout and wasnt so with it then when it came to sending stuff out. he got pissed off about waiting for a month and actually went off the wall calling me names and shit saying it was a personal attack and i was sending it out to others but not him, when i was just lazy.

so i brushed him off and was like what ever buddy, too bad for you.

so fast forward 2 years and i find conocybe cyanopus. he knew months before i sent spores to alan to confirm this, that it was indeed conocybe cyanopus . he was like a kid in a candy store type xcited and he was like hey man do you think you can send me a print?

i was like wtf, do you remember who i am, your a fuckin asshole . you totally dissed me . well to make a kinda long story short i am the type of person who forgives and i also realy really respect and like other people who know and love mushrooms more than i!! he said he has been trying to obtain a C cyanopus sample for 20 years. how could i not give someone so passionate about getting this a print!!??

i guess i could have been a prick but fuck that, were all mushroom amigos. since that day we talked and gave each other samples and talked music as he was also a guitar fanatic and i play the mandolin.

he was a great dude. its really sad news. :frown:

Oh shit. I should have peeked in here more often. I had no idea.

Walk in peace my friend. You have been a pillar here and I'm sorry I never got that Conocybe print to you.


--------------------



Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.
