Rekkuzo: Nice to see another puerto rican on the forums! Unfortunately I only lived there for 6 months as a baby then moved to the mainland.

I moved shortly after my 7th birthday. I kept all my Spanish skillz, but my vocabulary is pretty limited, though speaking with my parents constantly helps.
Lol, I just checked what babelfish would come up with, and it's completely bastardized.
Also, why do the zapotecorum spores look all "dirty"?

> wow,alan you are fucking cool. keep it up. > this is like a free mycology class with a badass professor that smokes blueberry chron with you.
Thanks, that is exactly what I was going for.
> You're a mad-scientist hehehe:)
Haha you should see my garage.
> I do not have a microscope (yet), but that would be the end of the line officially making me a mycological wack-job.
Sounds like a good reason to get one.
Plus, the chicks really dig them.
> it makes me want to get the "How to Identify Mushrooms to Genus" book involving microscopy. Is that the book from where you started to learn all this?
No, but I plan to get those next.
> It seems like the only book I know of that deals with the topic in depth.
I am reading The Cytology and Plectology of the Hymenomycetes.
> Those are some amazing pics alan! youve inspired me to buy my own microscope as soon as i can to start working on the panaeolus down here.
I have this one, its great. I have a camera mounted to its third eye now, its fun to sit back and pan around the slide, watching the spores fly across the LCD screen in the camera.
> i bet spores look dirty due to alan travel method
The print is really light, Its hard to get a good sample on to the slide without scraping up some paper too.

you are omnipresent alan ,  shroomery have the best animations are you gonna past the line with such a beautiful introduction to another world ,.. all my best vibrations, do you have a pcr stickiest devise, to perform genome exchange in interest into mutated to the next genus. or at least initiate a symbiotic relationship even in intracellular linking , so far i have only try the old methods . but will interest to see if there is Good machine to id all mushrooms with a projection to the future and back and give you all details in present time.. you see i´m getting crazy , yes is the dry season symptoms affect all my brains i have 2 , i guess is the lack of moisture, or to little excitement, but the cyber world feed me........

Great spore pics!
You definately want to get "How to Identify Mushrooms to Genus III: Microscopic Features". It goes into great detail on how to make sections, mounting solutions, stains, cystidia types, etc. A must have book for anyone getting into mushroom microscopy and thats most of us, right? 
Paul Stamets' first book "Psilocybe Mushrooms and Their Allies " also has a less detailed but useful microscopy techniques section, which is more specific to Psilocybe examination.
Keep up the good work Allen. I still need to dig out my Psilocybe baeocystis sample. But I did add Psilocybe venenata to the Semilanceatae section gallery.

Alan Rockefeller said: Just based on the spores it looks like a good match for P. subaeruginosa, they are slightly larger and differently shaped than the P. cyanescens spores. It would be interesting to see what the pleurocystidia and cheilocystidia look like.
Care for a gill sample?  I have a few smaller dried samples left. I'd gladly remove a few pieces of gills for you and send them.

Are you thinking of the book with the green cover, The Cytology and Plectology of the Hymenomycetes?

Its a pretty awesome book, but the price is over $100, I'd recommend you borrow it from someone like I did.
Its a good bet that anyone who buys this book is not reading it, the subject matter is kind of intense.
