first of all , he doesn't deserve the one star. unfortunately,did'nt research this man before booking two foreys. since he was on the national geographic channel. Let me tell ya how it went. arrived at the camp after a 7 hr. drive, with my wife. was met first, by his girlfriend, who was wearing some kind of coyote headdress, and obviously on something other than beer, almost seemed a little flirtatious, wife says much more, and I will have to agree.There was four other respectfull older couples, and another man,that joined our group. She disappeared momentarily,and was back with a see through dress without a bra,My wife was instantly @$%^&&*((**! since she seemed to be very friendly. I wasn't allowed to go back to the campfire. Our hunt in the morning started with a group picture,in which she again with another braless see through tried to get behind me, noticed my wife start to leave,and put my arm around her and came back for the group shot. It gets better,out of 8 hrs. of hunting for mushrooms we hauled @$$ down dusty rd. for 6 hrs pulling in occasionaly to search area. still dusty every step.Noticed chris picking at every stop, I enquired, and found prime wa.st.PANTHERINA AMANITA. legal mind altering mushrooms. I am not a novice at this and know it takes perfect conditions to grow a mushroom. morels and other edibles need water. Chris did not care for anyone he was busy picking, and even ran by me and scooped up around 8 or 10 right before I reached them. first mushroom I seen for the day. Not that I wanted them anyway too hardcore for me. I was there to learn about edibles. another slap in the face was watching his latest episode on filthy riches, where he quotes "you would have to be an idiot to look for mushrooms without water. there was only one person left from our group the next day, I guess he was either an idiot, or he liked amanitas. I called chris to cancel my next forey, and he told me it would be to difficult to refund my money,so even though it was paid for, NEVER AGAIN !!
Chris Matherly is a child in a mans body. I ordered 2 lbs of mushrooms from him at the first of April, he told me that his shipping days were Monday and Tuesday and that I was too late for this weeks shipment which I was ok with was willing to wait till the next week. I gave him my credit card number and waited. A couple days later I find he had ran my credit card so I called him and he assured me that weather had been been bad that he had shipments going out the next Monday. I trusted him. He charges 30 or 40 dollars for next day shipping which is fine, the total charge on my credit card was $130.00. i wanted my shrooms fresh. So at week 3 he still had not have any mushrooms shipped after promised emails saying he was shipping. I wasn't willing to give away $130 to a stranger so indisputed the charge.Now this is the absolute great part, this 12 year old child sent me 2 lbs of dead stinking mushrooms exactly one month later to the day of my dispute (today). Classic childlike actions of, "I'm gonna get the last baby word! I got a box of dead dryed stinking mushrooms with no sign of refrigeration, just a crumbling box full of dead stinking mushrooms. And trust me I have lots of pictures if you would like to see them. I could not believe that Chris Matherly went to such great lengths to show me that this 12 year old was Boss!! Lol. What a mess he is, he may know shrooms but he is totally immature in personality. I am still laughing at his immaturity. Basic rule of on line purchasing is that the seller NEVER charges you card until they ship, Chris Matherly does not subscribe to this rule, he charges immediately with no ship date in site...maybe you'll get them, maybe you won't, in his words, "I don't control the weather, but I do control when I charge your credit card Sucker! That's what he thinks of you! Check his Facebook page, people pay big money to go to his mushroom hunts and there is one picture of one poor little lady with a single tiny mushroom in her hand. I bet she paid $150 Bucks for that tiny mushroom. Chris Matherly, Morel Mushroom Hunting Club is not an honest person. He is not truthful and has no integrity. Folks you can find mushrooms on your own, just do your research and there are a lot of local clubs that just go huntin and have fun and don't cost you a dime, I hope you will seek those folks out because they will be a whole lot more fun than this money grubbing 12 year old.
