Just to let everyone know that I won't now be able to make the WAB Clumber Foray, just in case anyone might have been on the lookout for me. Going to be busy with other things I fear.
I've also noticed simmering tensions in the fungi forum recently, brought to a head by Leif's misinterpretation of a comment of mine which was in no way intended to be a personal put down, but that's just a symptom of a wider issue.
Quite frankly I don't have the time or the patience to be contributing to a forum in these circumstances. So I'll say my farewells here to all you friends I never did meet.
It's been an experience and I hope you have many more fungi seasons of pleasure from WAB. All the best.

Ken | I'm so sorry to hear this Ken. Please have a re-think.
Your input along with others has had such an impact on the forum. I'm sure whatever has been said can be resolved.
Best Wishes - John |

You're a mycological inspiration Ken, and I mean that. Please visit us if you should find the time. Best of luck with the new adventure
Best wishes for the future and I hope one day that we can meet

That is very sad news indeed especially as it seems that a member who didn't give two hoots for the site as a reference vehicle has apparently driven off one of the most ardent contributors who constantly provided invaluable feedback. So sorry to see you go Ken.
All the very best in your endeavours

Somehow I have managed to completely miss this thread! (About two thirds of the posts happened while I was on holiday so I have a small excuse).
I know next to nothing about fungi so if you can put up with me saying "what's this?" every thirty seconds or so I'd love to come along too.
As the base camp is not available I'll probably do my usual kip-in-the-car routine. Shouldn't be too cold by then.
Pauline, you'll be pleased to hear that although I don't particularly enjoy eating mushrooms I am not phobic. No wet flannels or firm slaps required this time!
Ken, I'm really sorry to hear about your decision. Although I've never been a regular contributor to the fungi forum you have helped me out with quite a few ID's in the past and I will miss your expertise so generously shared.
Dave P.
