Amanita phalloides
This known to occur in Bulgaria? Am polishing the article up for GA and then FA. Any eastern European input much appreciated. cheers, Casliber | talk  |  contribs 21:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

(PS: My total experience of Bulgaria is 24 hours hitching and bussing from Edirne to Romania in '95. Looked nice though :))


 * Greetings! I'll be happy to go over the article and add in anything worthy of adding. And yeah, we've got A. phalloides allright just like much of Europe and Russia. I thought this species was native only to Europe and Asia as I remember reading somewhere the Death Cap was imported into North America and elsewhere with transfers of timber.--Paffka 13:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

...I can't bear the suspense!!.. I think I've done all I can and I've nominated Amanita phalloides at FAC....cheers, Cas Liber | talk  |  contribs 05:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Russula virescens
Hi Paffka, I noticed you improving the green-cracking Russula article. Interested in collaborating on it together and co-nominating for WP:GAN sometimes in the near future? I have access to online databases and a well-stocked mycological library and could help in adding more sources, and I'm always trying to get more featured content for the Fungi Wikiproject. Cheers, Sasata (talk) 17:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course. I welcome collaboration on every WP Fungi article and I am delighted for every article which gets more treatment than my limited collection of books can offer. Getting this to be featured content, is not really my goal due to my ignorance of not knowing the mechanisms involved, but I'll be glad to collaborate wherever possible.--Paffka (talk) 19:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Boletus edulis
Hey Paffka, we are buffing up the Boletus edulis article for FAC now. Do you have any interesting Bulgarian information - what the name means in the language, stories, folklore and/or recipes all much appreciated (along with Bulgarian sources :)). Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 19:16, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. Interesting Bulgarian information is hard to come by, as written information is pretty lacking on topics such as these. I have some customs data with numbers of exported fungi from Bulgaria, though I reckon that's of little importance to the article apart from being some kind of example. Seeing as the article in its current state does not have one, I have a table of nutritional information (fat, protein and carbohydrate content as well as calories per 100g) for different states of porcini, namely porcini mushroom powder, dried porcini and marinated porcini. The numbers compared to some other sources from the web sound off to completely off, not that the web sources aren't in disagreement themselves. For 100g dried porcini I have 33g protein, 13.6 fats, 26.3 carbs and 224 calories to give you some flavour. As for the article, it does need a lot of work. Especially undoing years of added "work" - what I find to be an accumulation of random riff-raff sourceless information and opinions over the years. Also, I think parts of the article are too Italy-centric.--Paffka (talk) 00:03, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. I find the nutritional bits of these articles a nuightmare (WRT differing numbers etc.). I thought we'd done a fair job of clearing out uncited material. Most bits have references now (?) - all input much appreciated. The talkpage is a hive of activity :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 22:58, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, politics and mushroom picking, fascinating stuff really - thanks for that :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 19:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Paffka, Fifelfoo is asking for a translation of "По 1 тон гъби на ден се предават в изкупвателните пунктове в Белоградчик", could you oblige? Simply add a "|trans_title= " parameter to the citation. Thanks! Sasata (talk) 09:47, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment!
on my edit of your photo of Sarnitsa. I love that whole area....and I like to have it look as good as it really does. Best, Martha (talk) 20:45, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
