The last time he left our community he was still always looking in on us. I'd like to think he'll keep doing that.

As other people have stated first and foremost thank you CureCat for taking time out to inform the community of this tragic loss.
I had the pleasure during my not so long time here on shroomery of interacting with MM a few times and even have the honor of a 5 shroom rating + a nice comment from the man himself . I feel extra honored now since he has passed to have known such a nice and helpful fellow, however brief our acquaintance may have been.
May you rest in peace brother.

Sounds like a great fellow. It's unfortunate that I never had the pleasure of conversing with him.

I realize this post is 6 months old now but I believe it should continue to be seen...
I had the privilege of being contacted by Mr.M to "conversate" several times, on Google talk. I would never have believed he was in his 50's given the energy and enthusiasm in his voice! We discussed many things, agreed & Disagreed, but always enjoyed the debate! When I messaged after xmas I found it strange to not receive a reply, but I just assumed he was busy with "projects" or life... I figured in the fall we'd hook up again and pick up right were we left off His final message to me said about the holidays being upon us, and Heaven help us all.... Followed by these lines which I just keep reading over and over....
Mr.Mushrooms: We'll talk sometime soon... I am never in a hurry!
I wanted to write a lot more but as I write this now the tears are pooling in my eyes, I'm not one to cry but I genuinely Miss Someone I never had the honour to meet in person... "I'm not in a hurry but we'll talk soon friend!"

I feel the same way, LibKing....
Here's to you, Mr. M.!
-------------------- 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.

Liberty King sent me a PM about this just last night - shocked to say the least. He was a great online friend that I never had the pleasure to meet. We first had conversations over ten years ago when I first joined under the alias St Thomas. We chatted on MSN, exchanged ideas, prints and even came within inches of going on a hunt together - he almost hopped in the car to make the long drive from Ohio to Ottawa, Ontario. Sadly we never got that chance. When I stopped by the Shroomery two years ago for the first time since 2002 he immediately sent me a PM and was ecstatic I was back - needless to say we had a lot to talk about.
He sent me some prints just before Christmas and I feel bad that I was unable to return the favour. I'll keep his Christmas card and get those prints fruiting in his honour.
Matt was a valuable addition to this community and I was proud to call him friend.
I really hope the fungi are feasting on you Mr. Mushrooms - it's what you would have wanted.
Cheers to you sir!
If anyone wants to PM me the details of his passing it would be greatly appreciated.

I would imagine if we hunted together we'd find our styles are similar." - Mr. Mushrooms RIP Matt, your friendship and your contributions to the world of fungi will be missed. Unfortunately we never got to hunt together. St Thomas

I'm so glad to see this thread being posted in again. Matt was an awesome person, pure in heart and soul. I wish I would have taken more opportunities to speak with him. I still get tears in my eyes when thinking about how much he helped me, and how he contributed to this community. I've recently decided to get the "bad taxonomy can kill" tattooed on my shoulder, along with his name written below. You will never be forgotten Mr. Mushrooms.
RIP Matt
-------------------- Having lived through an existence close to nature, one accepts the small and simple things as most important in life. Sun, wind, rain and snow. The sounds birds make, smells of fresh wild flowers. Love of all kinds, from friends and family, thy self and our neighbors. Beautiful sunrises to the darkest clouds dancing above in the sky. To forgive, learn, share and express. This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for. What comes as the result is nothing short of the core of human existence, to truly live free in body and mind.

I'm glad to see this thread isn't done for yet and I'm only bumping a week-old reply :P Mr. Mushrooms was a great guy and whenever I see his old posts (quite often - that guy sure loved mushrooms) I remember back to some conversations we've had. Figured I had to find this thread and pay my respects.

This is really sad news, even if it's kinda old news to most of ya'll. I remember MM even though I never met him in person.I always felt a slight kinship or whatever you want to call it with him, even though we didn't interact that much here at the Shroomery, mainly due to my absence here. After reading some of these posts it seems MM and I had a lot in common, such as age, the diabetes, and of course the love of mushrooms, especially the hunting part.Maybe that was it. Wish I did have the opportunity to have met him in person like some of you did.I'm sure the ones that did meet/know him in person realize what a loss his parting is.
RIP Mr.Mushrooms. And my condolences to his friends and family.

I realize this is an old thread and if it is an issue for me to post so be it!... It is that time of yeah again when Mushrooms are abundant and that is always exciting for me... but yet I still have a void knowing that I will not be able to converse about my hunts with a fellow shroomerite who I greatly miss... Here's to you R.I.P. Mr.Mushrooms
