Dear Sir,
I came across a post of yours on bio.net dated 1998. it was a cashed  
version from google.
(  http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:YfIcl-k8CWsJ:www.bio.net/bionet/mm/mycology/1998-November/006956.html+mushrooms+egypt&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=safari 
    )

In this post you say:

	Hi,

	I was wondering if anyone knew of any works dealing with mushrooms in  
Egypt,
	North Africa or the Middle East.

	The only source i've been able to find so far deals only with some  
Palestinian
	species.

	E-mail would also be appreciated.

	Thanks in advance.

	Steve

I was wondering if you had any luck at all? i'm thinking of  
researching mushrooms in Egypt for my masters thesis.  I haven't found  
any info apart from an ancient paper in Jstor about diseases and fungi  
of Egypt ...

I realize that this email may be a little late but maybe I get  
lucky ... If you have any resources I would much appreciate them.

Thanks,
