   Hi Quee,   
   I did not know that monkeys eat mushrooms. Tks for the info since that   
   could be a problem for us.   
      
   Anyhow it is fantastic to see what monkeys can teach us humans. The   
   primate researchers in the rainforest near our former home in Kenya   
   have been studying the monkeys for many years. Among other things they   
   have noticed that the monkies, when appearing ill, have searched for   
   certain plants and trees in the forest. From this the researchers have   
   found out the these plants and trees are medicines again certain   
   illnesses. When, after noticing this, they have checked with the old   
   medicine men and very old people in the villages it has been confirmed   
   that the plants actually have been used in local medicine for many   
   many years.   
      
   So we will actually have to make some kind of cage around the growing   
   places so that the monkies do not eat it all.   
      
   Good nite! (I am in Sweden so it is getting dark soon)
