Yep! So, is there anyone else that would be interested in a Fungi Forum.

My vote vote is 'no'; in my opinion Cubits is the place for fungi; or if on ATP, make a blog for Fungi with lots of comments and photos.

It's not really about vote for are against, but are there enough interested people to justify creating it. Assuming dave can be convinced that it relates enough to plants and gardening to be included. We do have a group of forums called "Not Exactly Gardening" that cover areas that aren't specifically plants or gardening.
I think Fungi would fit in there, if there are enough interested people.

It would be a forum I'd be checking in with. I'm still sorting out the forums. It's sort of a relief when some aren't very active . Helps me keep up. A couple of days before this thread was started I posted a link to some time lapse videos of fungi growth. I put in the Sandbox forum with the subject tag 'mushrooms/fungi'. I thought it was interesting visually. Not much information, but a good display of some forms growing.

"Not Exactly Gardening" might be just the place for fungi. Certainly bee-keeping, as interesting as it may be, is not a plant either......

You are all making good points. I think Fungi has a place in "Not Exactly Gardening" and I also don't feel like it'll take us down a slippery path toward having a Pets or Electric Wiring forum.

I'll create a fungi forum.

There you go. Dave has taken care of it. Did any of us doubt he would figure it out?

I never doubted it!

Thanks Dave!!

Cool--now can someone find the thread with the link for the time-lapse growth and move it over?
and where is Dianne --we gotta get these photos out of the closet!

Sandbox thread "mushrooms/fungi" (stop-motion)

Sandbox thread "How To Grow Your Very Own Stinkhorn Fungus!"

Dianne, so glad you found your way to ATP, and brought this topic up.

And now we have a forum for all things fungi.

Photos are out of the closet .. popped a few in in the Fungi Photos thread .. got confused at first (not hard to do I've been told) before I saw the note re the Fungi Forum set-up. Dave & everyone for the Fungi Support! I am not alone!
My friends even give me Fungi for the garden! Here's a pic., but I hope gnomes don't show up!

That's the best kind of fungi! Unless you like to eat mushrooms, which I love.

ValleyLynn! I'm glad I found my way here, too .. it's a great site & I'm having fun & so much enjoyment from everyone's photos and the info is fantastic!
I've used the link from this site for friends to join & I'm happy to say several from my Garden Group on FaceBook (based in Tenterfield & now has members all over the World!) have joined!

Glad to have found you all! Dianne.
