I set out for Leng shortly. I do not anticipate being able to file further dispatches until the conclusion of the expedition led by Prof. Winkler. Let us pray there are no encounters with Matango. (If it’s any consolation, I believe the atmosphere of Leng too rarified for the tropical species.)
Did you really go on a scientific mushroom survey expedition to — is it Tibet? Or is this just a high-as-a-kite Pacific Northwest armchair fantasy, as some of my children suspect? Can you help crystallize the reality by posting more notes about your trip online, complete with gill counts and spore charts?
The journals are still under preparation. All my gills fell out of the moleskine in customs.
