    Yeah…this book I’m about to get (hopefully) is also by Fuhrer? called ‘RAINFOREST FUNGI OF TASMANIA AND S.E. AUSTRALIA’ ….looks really nice…..printed in 92 though? but…they DID still have good books waaaaaaaaay back then too. :o)

  • Sounds great,will have some goodies fungi does’nt seem to be contained in specific places like other plants…92 is a long time ago I turned 30 that year

    lol…i graduated from high school in 91………age is but a number….no worries.
    i won that darn book last night? and i THINK the seller doubled the shipping on me! it was set for less then the actual book price when i first saw it? and now it’s DOUBLE! no way i can fix that though…and i saw the same book on Amazon for 4x the price!

  • Great you got the book bummer about the price we probably won’t c ya for while will have your face buried in it ..hgs
