Actually I just barely managed to sneak into the adventure 20 other people had eagerly signed up to be a part of. The trip was planned in private and totally by chance I ended up finding out and getting on board.
Turns out I'm far from the only mushroom fanatic out there. :)
I shouldn't be too surprised. Both my father and brother would love to do that. Dad is a botanist and Karl is a horticulturalist. They can't go anywhere together without breaking in to Latin.
I'm the odd one in our family for liking physics, chemistry, and engineering.
Sounds like my kind of people :)
