[edit] DevOhm
Hey, thanks for the welcome.
I'm from Central California, but I'll be moving to the Bay Area in August, so I'll probably get more opportunities to go hunting, heh.
So is WikiProject: Fungi very organized, or is it more casual? I'm fairly new to the Wikipedia editing community, so I'm not entirely positive where to begin. I've read through the basic editing help and all, but it's still pretty new.
- Ah, so you're in the MSSF, excellent. I had let my membership lapse for about a year, but I rejoined this last week. One of the main things I'm looking forward to about moving to Berkeley is finally getting to attend a meeting.
- As a member of the MSSF, I'm sure you're familiar with mykoweb.com, Michael Wood's website. I'm planning on getting some rudimentary information on new fungi articles from there, but can you recommend any other sources? I own a copy of Mushrooms Demystified, of course.
[edit] Lingzhi link
Can you please explain to me how an independent database on reishi is a spam link considering it is all independently verifiable information that happens to be available on a commercial site that does not control the content of the research database? After looking at Wikipedia's policies on spam, conflict of interest, I see absolutely nothing against the link however as the owner of Green Mountain Mycosystems I am not re-replacing the link even though I believe it fills a key void in the current wikepedia ling zhi article.

- I don't care, re-add it if you want. Yours isn't that bad. Its that other one that is really stupid.

[edit] Mushroom categories
Hi. I see that people are fixing all the categories for the mushroom articles. I have been changing Category:basidiomyces to Category:Agaricus for example, should I instead be adding the second category and leaving in the Category:basidiomyces? I thought that since Agaricus is in the category basidiomyces, that it didn't need the seperate Category:basidiomyces.
Thanks

[edit] Amanita ocreata
Dear Alan, Thanks for the website tip as some nice photos adorn this mushie's webpage now. I'm fond of the fact that WP isn't a book or I'd be wasting alot of paper. Given this little toadstool is from your neck of the woods (?), are you able to stick in any other material that refers specifically to A. ocreata alone? e.g. toxicity relative to others, ref for description, occurrence (north/south limits?) etc. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: D. Skivers, mycotopia
Hi Alan...
Yes, I am absolutely sure of this info, I would not post it otherwise. I have had dealings with Ms. Skiver in the past, and Knew she was the person behind Mycotopia, but did not know of her connection to the Independence, MO PD until recently when she arrested a friend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.99.163.18 (talk) 17:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Would you say this was amanita smithiana?
[1] this is a great photo from the pacific NW. What you reckon? cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
