I will confess something that should be quite obvious, CC. I love mushrooms, i.e. fungi. I really do. I am talking about a strong feeling, i.e. emotion, for them. I think they are beautiful. I even dream of them.

AMAZING photographs, the Cyptotrama asprata is beautiful.

Never seen a Lepiota with a funky webbed cap like that. Those panthers are gorgeous. It's a fungal paradise down there!

Yes I made some prints. They are still in Mexico though. I expect I'll come across them when I return in June.

They are ok....But I could have done much better if I wasn't hunting with a bunch of other people. I hate holding up the whole group just so I can get a perfect natural light shot - When I am with others I generally just flash everything so they don't get bored. I'll return to this place in a month with a white umbrella, various reflectors, two external flash units with flash diffusers, etc...

I used to invite tons of people to hunt with me in Mexico, but I don't do that anymore because with the exception of Byrain, no one has ever actually shown up.

Well I would seriously much rather go mushroom hunting all summer than look for some bullshit job, but I would feel like shit leaving my girlfriend and my dog behind.

Ok, since you can't be there I will take lots of pictures for you.



After we got back from camino viejo we went to Xalapa

On average, how much do your trips cost? If you don't mind my asking.

Not much. $1000 per month. Most of that is gasoline and the rest is food.

Beautiful shots! The stacked spore pics are always my favorite, very well done.

The variety of species you find on your Mexico trips is always impressive, nothing like discovering new species while collecting delicious edibles and psilocybes. Thanks for living the dream and taking pics along the way.
