man, I just happened to catch this when you were in the discord chat but you left before I finished reading. Great stuff your posting! One thing I haven't found much of so far on STEEMIT is mycology, and it's truly among one the most remarkable, and probably least appreciated fields of study on the planet.

It was also gonna be my next post, about the Central Park "mushroom hunt" hosted by Gary Lincoff and the New York Mycological Society! Are you also in NYC? Anyway, look forward to chatting next time you come by the Whaleshares chat!

MycoKeys Morphing Mushroom Identifier also looks really cool. However, when I tried to join the Steemit Mycology discord, it said the link was already expired!

Always happy to run into a fellow mushroom enthusiast - I sent you a quick DM on discord - talk soon!

That link looks awesome, @alexmorris. So far all I feel comfortable identifying are morels, chicken of the woods, wood ear and turkey tail. The world of fungi is so exciting! I'm gonna bookmark that site, thanks for sharing! I just just joined dischord today by the way, still trying to learn the basics. Any advice for beginners on there? Thanks so much!

actually, you can also thank @dber for that one, though he had so much great stuff in this point I understand how some may have missed it! btw, do you have the invite link for the discord steemit mycology chat? The one posted was already expired, and still haven't gotten hold of one that works yet! the group also found some chicken of the woods in Central Park last weekend. unfortunately, it really wasn't in an "edible" condition! lol

Nice! I found too much chicken of the woods last year. Shared the abundance with friends though!
