At last, someone who'd be interested in my photo of a 5-inch-wide Indigo Milky (Lactarius indigo) with a huge Light Red Coral (Ramaria araiospora) growing right next to it, and me with no way to scan the photo in!

Man! I'm green with envy here in the tropics. Some of the most beautiful basidiomycetes are found only in the temperate region... How I wish there were anything as closed as Lactarius indigo seen here. All I'd seen most of the time, if I'm lucky, are Puffballs and Mycena spp.

Then again, I'm not that much a forager, for I spend most of my time looking at lignicolous micromycetes that's found on rotting mangrove wood. Still nothing excites me more than a picture of a fungus... any fungus!

Beautiful specimens of Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) are quite common around here, and occasionally I'll come across a clump of Jack O'Lanterns (Omphalotus olearius) in the woods. I'll make a point of snapping a few photos of these and any other cool fungus I see to post here, but I'm afraid it will take a far better camera than mine to capture a Jack O'Lantern's eerie bluish glow at night.
If you get the chance to come to the US be sure to visit Savannah GA, as it is truly the land of interesting fungus. It's heavily forested plus it rains every day, and I've seen several mushrooms there that aren't listed in the Audubon Guide.

I would love to visit US someday, sunday, someday. The giant sequoia have always amused me, together with the MLB (have you seen the 24 homers Abreu accomplished in round one yesterday!?), NBA (go Kings go!) and NFL. Would really love to visit US, but that would have to wait till at least 2008. Can't stand your prez.

Anyway, do post the wonderful pictures. I shall dig into my archive of microscopic pictures of spores (with appendages) to show you the other side of mycology that you didn't know or refuse to acknowledge that it exist. Somewhat disgusting though...

Who knows what that sub-intelligent fella will do next? Shove people to Guantamano? Okay, seems like needless fear...

Anyway, not entering US is a silent act of protest on my part.

You'd love it around here. People actually pay the local paper $10.00 U.S. to put a picture of themselves with the Morels (ascomycetes) that they find during the spring hunt.

Giving his anti-atheism sentiments together with the anti-terrorism laws that make a foreigner fill out a form with all their personal details for filing, I don't think any atheist in their right mind will be visiting the USA any time soon. Or, of course, anyone that likes to keep their details to themselves

Are there a lot of atheist anywhere? I thought there are way more agnostics that atheists?

Anyway, I'm an atheist, and I'm not concerned about the conservative Bushism. It's really the acts of war that unnerved me much more, a-religious or not.

Shodan · 07-14-2005, 09:19 AM

Don't be such a paranoid bunch! I'm an athiest foreigner, I've been to the US a couple of times during the Bush presidency, and I think I made it through ok

You must be the exception then. We don't like you foreign Godless types around here.

I was of course kidding but it's kind of scary that there really are Americans who actually do feel that way. They are small in number of course but there's something very sad about "the land of the free" now is the home to such close-minded individuals.

Yeah, us native Godless sodomite types aren't very popular these days, either.

Well, in the Bible-thumping region I'm in, any Godless type is unwelcome!
