Bonjour Zotto,

It's now 20 years that we met for the first time at the spring foray in Luxembourg and Orbilia had already been  a major concern of yours for years! I am looking forward to receiving the paper version of this masterwork soon, and glad to be still alive for this happy end !

I wonder whether you will now know what to do with your time and fear that unemployment might draw you in a depressive spiral. No, I'm joking of course but I suppose it brings relief and also strange feeling ?

Merci beaucoup pour ce travail en tout cas, et bonne santé, cher ami !

Amitiés . Michel

Zotto, this is of lesser interest for the Ascofrance community but for once , I will contradict you. (it's so many often the ospposite )  Before the Vendée foray, we did meet in Luxembourg in 2000 where I had brought this Moellerodiscus aestivalis on momified apples. (still a to be published taxon) . I'm sure you will remember now. The creator of this forum was also with me ...

What I can add is that this Orbilia work has also been a trait d'union between many of us . The   community of mycologists with quotations in the monography is also tremendous , among which, many friends involved in ascomycetes studies.
