I hope sparkle and her loved ones are OK.
The Philippines got hammered by a huge typhoon. Thousands dead. Hope that wasn't her area.

I too have been thinking of and talking about her. I'm sure all of us that know of Sparkle are sending our thoughts, prayers & good vibes her way.

I was wondering the same thing, thought about making a post. I don't know what area she's in but let's hope she and loved ones are alright! Sending good vibes to her and everyone else down there...

Haven't heard from her in a while but I wouldn't worry since her area is up north luzon and the storm was mainly concentrated in the Visayas. FYI, the Philippines is composed of 3 main islands: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Hey guys, thank you for the thoughts, prayers and good vibes. We are okay but sad beyond words about what happened. I have been absent from shroomerry for a while. Superfunkyb sent me a phone message. I've been busy with my Calocybe. I went to see Packdee in Thailand last month. He took me to some mushroom farms around his area. Really nice guy and he has a nice mushroom farm stay. If you guys are ever in Thailand, a stay in his place will be fun and educational. Here's a straw mushroom spawn factory

WOW! What an operation Packdee has in Thailand! I'll bet you had a great time and learned a lot too.
So glad to hear you are OK. We have been think/wondering about you ever since Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines.

No OIC, that is his neighbors operation that sells tens of thousands of mushroom spawn. Again, thank you all for all the love. The entire nation is in mourning but forever grateful to the world for all the help. We will never forget!

We definitely have missed seeing your giant Calocybe around here Sparkle. Happy to hear our fellow shroomerites in the Philippines are safe and sound. We all hope the Philippines recovers from the devastation quickly.
Your tour of the Thai mushroom farms sounds like dream vacation to me!

Hi pseudo! Miss you too! It is a dream vacation! I wish I had more than 1 night there. Packdee is doing a lot of interesting species, he's even planting trees for his bolete. I wish I had more time there, I just had 1 night. Let me dig up some pics.
