Yet every time I see them I'm drawn to them. We're thinking about another trip to Nova Scotia next spring, I'll make plans to visit the museum then. <br /><br />Lifeshighway - I had a photo of a lichen I almost included but decided against. They are indeed very beautiful too and just as interesting.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-16976469781070373022010-10-28T08:21:38.759-03:002010-10-28T08:21:38.759-03:00Beautiful photos.

Despite my huge interest in mushrooms and other plantlike organisms, I'm not good at identifying mushrooms beyond a very small few. <br />Sadly, the mycology professor at Acadia passed away a few years ago. But if you're on Facebook, look up Dinamarca Lorenzen. She and her family were the Lorenzen Pottery in Lantz, NS and she's an amazing identifier of mushrooms. Maybe she can help. <br />There's also the NS Museum, where there is an impressive collection of the Lorenzen sculptures. <br />Meanwhile, remember the saying: There are old mushroom hunters, and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold, mushroom hunters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-16167609021223628282010-10-27T19:09:51.999-03:002010-10-27T19:09:51.999-03:00Floridagirl - Being an expert in mushrooms is a bi...Floridagirl - Being an expert in mushrooms is a bit weird, simply because there are so few of them I think! But what a diverse subject. I often wish I knew more.<br /><br />Gail - Thanks so much for hosting this exciting and informative meme. My husband is a TED enthusiast. Watches it every morning as opposed to news. Says he got sick of all the negative things he heard on the tv every morning. I don't believe he's seen this one though - I'll look for it so we can watch together on the weekend.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-22029618200989345592010-10-27T13:53:17.584-03:002010-10-27T13:53:17.584-03:00They are wonderful....Have you by chance caught th...They are wonderful....Have you by chance caught the TED talk "How Mushrooms can save The World." ?

I once worked for a group of scientists, and one of them was a mushroom expert...not for a living, mind you, though he was a biologist. The mushroom thing was a hobby of his, and we all thought it was a bit weird. The right person to get lost in the wild with, though.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.com
