Hola, Timo and Joseph—Thanks for such a well-written article and fantastic photos. I live in Baja Sur, Mexico on the Pacific coast; our village has a direct road to the Sierra de la Laguna. There is a rare, endemic oak in the peaks, as well as many other endemic species, plus newly catalogued insects. I don’t know of any mycologist who has explored this range. While I am physically unable to do mushrooming anymore, I would like to learn more about species here and Mexico in general, including cultural uses. (I also did freelance writing, grant writing and photography.) Timo, if you ever want to visit this area, I will clean up our spare bedroom and loan you our old 4WD.

Great interview, and a lot of great stories. I found myself physically leaning forward during the adventure to find and photograph that tarantula. Stunning stuff. Keep it up, both of you.
