Once when Lois Long was on a mushroom
walk led by Guy Nearing,
a mushroom was found that was quite
rare. Guy Nearing
told Lois Long that it was Pleurotus
masticatus. They then
walked along and Lois Long,
realizing she had already
forgotten the name of the mushroom,
said to Guy Nearing,
“I just can’t get the name
of that mushroom into my head.
In fact,
I have a terrible time
remembering any of these Latin
names.” Guy Nearing said,
“When you don’t know the
name of a mushroom, you
should say it first to the
person in front of you,
and then to the
person in back of you.
Soon, you’ll
find, you remember it.”
