I’m back from the mycology field trip. I’ve been back for about 6 hours now, but I’m a busy guy. I had to do mushroom maintance on the ones I collected this morning. I didn’t wake up until 11ish cause nobody woke me up. I went out and found some pretty good mushrooms though, found a nice collection of Aminita muscaria which is the big red one w/ white spots on top… the famous one that everyone thinks of when they think mushroom. Anyway, it’s highly halucinogenic and slightly toxic… so if you wanna risk it you prolly only have about 1% chance of death, but you have a virtual certainty of mild to intence gastrointestinal upset. Besides… most of you can’t find it cause you don’t live out in the middle of no where… or ur in Kennewick where the lack of moisture prohibits such growing. anyway, I found these neato purple mushroom the day before… didn’t get a picture of them though because the camera battery died right when I took it, so apparently it didn’t save… but I didn’t figure that out till I’d already started drying them… sad… Murphy will be pissed. Anyway, I got 5 identified collections under my belt and a bunch of unidentified ones to work off. Good stuff, and we had food a plenty. Most of the class played this stupid answer gross questions game after work was done and stuff… so I learned that all the girls in the class are drunken sluts. To varying degrees I suppose. 😛 Since I’ve gotten back I’ve pretty much been doing just homework… which I have a lot of still to do and I will return to that shortly. I’ve got my History homework out of the way though now I think, so I’ll move towards chem. Big huge pile of chem. I have to pick classes for next semester and jan term more definately too before tomorrow, I have an appointment with my advisor tomorrow and I’d like to have something useful to talk to him about. Doy. So yeah, that’s pretty mcuh the update on my life. Yay mushrooms! Boo Kait being where I’m not.
