   Interesting! I'd never heard of geo-caching until a day I was out hunting   
   mushrooms and   
   found one with the instructions, internet contacts etc. inside of it. Luckily   
   I have   
   internet access and was able to look into what the whole thing was about. I   
   made my little   
   trade (spore prints of course ) and put the thing back where I found it.   
      
    Unfortunately I don't yet own a GPS. This is something I definitely want to   
   look into   
   getting however as I know that many of the most valuable commercial mushrooms,   
   Matsutake   
   (Tricholoma magnivelare) for instance, will grow in a mycorrhizal (symbiotic)   
   relationship   
   with the same tree year after year. Given this fact , plus the most valuable   
   ones being   
   the buttons that have not yet broken the surface, a GPS coordinate would be   
   invaluable.   
   One can go back when none are yet visible and start patting the moss and   
   investigating the   
   "mushrumps" for buttons still hidden by moss or duff.
