He is in a much better place, picking patches we can only dream of
-------------------- 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 never got to know or work with him, but the community made it clear that he was the dude.

Thanks Alan & CC... I never called him Matt before... Just saw that others had used the name in this thread so I assumed it must be his name. We always called each other by Shroomery Names, neither one of us were very concerned about anything other than the fungus in our talks.

As Liberty Cap season is once more here I find myself again combing through some research papers that Mr.Mushrooms went out of his way to purchase and send to me, they have been the single most valuable documents in my collection! Every time I find something new of interest and then find myself wanting to call him up and probe his brain. I wish you were still here with us friend! You are Truly missed!

I wish i could let him know that Conocybe cyanopus is actually not uncommon like he thought!He went bonkers over my original find 4 years ago! But they could be the most common active mushroom in the PNW!!
RIP again man, you're truly missed.

I guess that depends on where you are...I know where there's some about 150 miles from here...I haven't made it up there myself but I know if Mr. M were still around, we'd have had to make the pilgrimage!

Yeah, he did like that name. He got published as a collector in journal article under that name. He would have got a kick out of that...

Just found out... I don't know what to say... We lost the best mushroom hunter I ever talked to. My condolences to anybody that knew him personally, it is hard to loose such a good person. The greater the person the greater the pain when they die.
Just this morning I passed on some info about Ps. caerulipes he gave me back in 08, told me exactly where he found them before.
What a gentle wise caring soul, I hope his memory lives on.

I know it's an old thread but I like to come here every Lib season after my 1st find and eat just one as a sort of to a friend whose gone but not forgotten! R.I.P. I miss our conversations and having someone who could argue an opposing point but still agree to disagree in the end! To you my Friend!

I Come Here Every Season to Pay my respects... With the other recent losses to the Shroomery Community I can't help but realize that someday, myself included, we'll all no longer be posting.... I can only hope that the next "Flush" of up and coming Mycophiles have half the knowledge and Love of Fungi as Mr.Mushrooms did! R.I.P. Old Friend

It's that Time of year again, where I wonder how many more seasons I've got left... and If I'll ever have half the knowledge Mr.Mushrooms possessed about Fungi! He was such a Great person, and resource, to discuss things with on the Phone. I often struggled to keep up with my notes while he excitedly discussed a theory... I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet him in person but just our conversations alone made me feel like I knew the guy anyway. So Here's to you Mr.Mushrooms

Rip Mr.Mushrooms. I never got the opportunity to meet him either. Had the chance years ago to meet him and other's for a forage but couldn't make it. I think he died just a couple months after. Great person!!Definitely missed
