 Warning: A Big Priced Rip-off

WEll two people brought this to my attention again.
There is a site advertising expensive sporeprints, humongous high-priced $1000-$2500.00 mushroom hunting forays, and a rip off my my mushroom species, Psilcybe samuiensis Guzm?n, Bandala and Allen.
Here is a picture from their site at http://petfungus.com
xxxxxxxxxxxx
ANd here are a few images form the field in Thailand on Koh Samui Island in the Gulf og Thailand.
When I asked Pet fungus about this, the owner told me that the specimen was found in a horse filed where Thai farmers lived who allegedly brought their horses from Thailand to Eastern Oregon.
I really doubtr that. To begin with it is a troipical species not a cold weather species, and Thais usually own Cattle and Water bufrfalo. Not horses. And to ship ghorses from Thailand is expensive when you can buy them here for cheap.
Pet Fungus charges $196.00 for this print of P. samuiensis.
Now Workman said he purchased this print fromthem when it was cheaper and it turned out to be Psilocybe semiglobata.
After complaining to Pet Fungus they raised the price to what it is now.
They also advertise Psilocybe mexicana as the landslide musrhoom. This is not so since the derrumbe mushroom (landslide) is Psilocybe caerulescens. And P. mexicana is a grass lands mushroom.
HEre are two images from my collections last October.
and finally a few collected specimens.
Mjshroomer,
If you all have a momebnt to spare, I hope some of you can find time to write these people and tell them that what they are doing is not nice.

Somw wonderful pics, as always MJ. It's too bad people are getting ripped off. We should do something to get the word out. It sad, how they are lying about there product, and praying on people that don't have any expereince or knowledge in the feild of mushroom cultivation. It's WAY to much to pay for a single print. Bunch of ass-holes...

So now they have changed their story about the spores coming from horses from Thailand since last time you tried to set them straight. Sounds like they are just adding lies to hide their scam.
I have plenty of prints of the ps. samuiensis as well. I'm going to try and find some time to post some video footage later this week of mjshroomer and others rediscovering the ps. samuiensis in Thailand this past summer..... great footage.
Unless of course John objects to ppl seeing him hunting mushrooms in the wild.. he's like a kid in a candy store

Hey Hawk, go ahead, I have been trying to get the big Chief himself to bring me the footage so I can make some images from the digital stuff. Haven't seen any of it at all.
Been almost three months and I am curious.
There is also much footage of me with Mr. Sawat and Nong.
And other farmer friends I have known over the year.
ALready a few people have grown the samuiensis pretty good. IO finished my new book this morning. Just sent Gartz a copy of the CD-ROM for a final edit and then I am going to ad another 2o pages of text from a member of the sub-culture who just wrote a chapter on Faniticus and whats next.
IT has just appeared in the Entheogenic Review and I want to incorporate it into my book with Gartz since there are some cult techniques which all will come to appreciate.
have a shroomy day,
Mj
Please post the video. Can I make images copies from it or is that impossible?
