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.

Hi its Mario buddy
I'm only 12. but how old are you? oh ya and thank u for ur comments on my reports but there all have keyword outlines so there OK urs rock 2 nice reports and i also just do them 4 school then i post them on the web its fun and encouraging Ty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mario buddy (talk • contribs) 23:11, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

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.

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

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)

Would you say this was amanita smithiana?
this is a great photo from the pacific NW. What you reckon? cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alan, just dropping by.
Hi Alan,

Panaeolina versus Panaeolus
I'm not sure this is the best place to comment on the Panaeolina genus for the foenisecii, but why is this name being used versus Panaeolus? I'm only commenting here to familiarize myself with Wikipedia.

Mycofan (talk) 02:36, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Panaeolus has smooth black spores. Panaeolina has roughened brown spores.     Alan Rockefeller (Talk - contribs) 06:23, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Psilocybe montana
Hi, I expanded this article, and submitted a DYK. I'd appreciate it if you could have a look and see if I got my facts straight. thanks! Sasata (talk) 05:06, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Panaeolus
Kew thinks it's the same mushroom Alan. Worry ye not...Luridiformis (talk) 17:32, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

sub- words
Hi, I noticed you added a discription to Psilocybe weilii with words like subadnate, sublageniform, subumbonate, subfloccose, and subviscid. Does the sub- prefix in this case just mean quasi- or semi-? If it does I think it would be a lot less confusing to write semi-floccose, semi-adnate etc. thanks Pzrmd (talk) 02:07, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is what sub means. However those are the terms that are commonly in use in mycology, no one uses semi-adnate, etc, so it would look kind of odd to create terms like that.  If you want to try to reword it so its easier to understand you are welcome to.  Instead of subviscid it could be said that its slightly viscid, etc.  Alan Rockefeller (Talk - contribs) 18:24, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I'm just going to add definitions for those to Wiktionary. thanks Pzrmd (talk) 23:27, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, do you agree with this definition? Pzrmd (talk) 23:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * How would you define subfloccose and subulbous? and subfusoid (fusoid already means somewhat fusiform). thanks Pzrmd (talk) 00:09, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I suggest leaving the edits to people that understand the terminology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Warriorsoul (talk • contribs) 01:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well these seem to be fairly obscure words, even within mycological nomenclature (besides subconical, subcampanulate). Pzrmd (talk) 04:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sometimes it is necessary to use the proper term to get your point across. In many these articles, the differences between the species hinge on these seemingly obscure points, so exact terminology needs to be used to successfully get the point across.  Alan Rockefeller (Talk - contribs) 23:21, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. I wasn't arguing that we shouldn't use them (which is why I created definitions on Wiktionary). But anyway, if you don't mind, could you answer my questions? thanks a lot Pzrmd (talk) 00:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Which question is it that you would like an answer to?
 * (I'm sorry if I came across as obnoxious and clueless, and it seems I have; I'm not a mushroom expert, so I should tone it down.) Pzrmd (talk) 21:57, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * My question was above, but it's completely all right with me if you don't answer. Pzrmd (talk) 22:01, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Gymnopilus.australian.02.jpg

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Agaricus fuscofibrillosus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Portobello (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Psilocybe argentipes and Psilocybe subcaerulipes
Hi Alan (also pinging ); I've reverted your edits at Psilocybe subcaerulipes which merged content from Psilocybe argentipes. I've done this because you didn't attribute as is required per MERGE (and, in this case, I wonder whether a history merge may be preferable). If the fix does need to be made (I've no opinion on this), perhaps it would be best to move the history of the latter article over, as it is fairly long? J Milburn (talk) 19:23, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I also have no opinion yet about the synonymy of the two species (I haven't seen the paper, and don't have immediate access to it), but I also have no reason to distrust Alan's or Guzman's opinion. History merge would probably be best, and the article will have to be rewritten (and probably resubmitted to GA?) with the new source in hand. I will try to do that in the new year if no-one else gets there first. Sasata (talk) 20:25, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I moved it again, this time following the directions in MERGE.  Alan Rockefeller (Talk - contribs) 22:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Monotropoideae and Russulaceae
Hi - I haven't been active on WP in a while, but recently have taken to expanding the Monotropoideae article, since I recently wrote a detailed and well-researched term paper on the topic. I've expanded it enough in the last week that I've nominated the article for a "Did you know...?" entry. A link to the nomination and also discussion of expansion of that article can be found at Talk:Monotropoideae.

Also, the Russulaceae article is undergoing expansion right now as well. Contributions to either article always welcome. Cheers! Peter G Werner (talk) 23:27, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Agaricus brunneofibrillosus and Agaricus amicosus
Now that Agaricus fuscofibrillosus is a deprecated name for both the European and California populations, I've moved that article over to Agaricus brunneofibrillosus (since the article was largely about the California species) and revised it appropriately. I also ended up starting an article stub for Agaricus amicosus, an A. brunneofibrillosus relative found under spruce and fir in the Rocky Mountains.
