Gigantopithecusman

I'm a native Russian, always been interested in science, especially in stuff that involve cryptozoology and astronomy. My real name is Gennady Trinko.

I have always used the nickname Gigantopithecusman on websites, solely based on a hulking ape that once existed in Southeast Asia, and it might have actually gone undiscovered if not for the luck of Ralph von Koenigswald, who first found a chain of Gigantopithecus teeth in a souvenir shop, and traced it to a cave in Southeast China, which has since yielded many jaws and teeth.

Small one, really

I love collecting mushrooms, and sometimes, usually in August, while visiting my birthplace in Solnechnogorsk, I stumble across a huge amount of them, and in August, 2013, I brought home a staggering freight, and I even needed help for carrying all of it. (All pictures below are solely my work)

I had since then set a number of records in the region, especially for the loot I brought in on the 14th August, 2013. You probably won't believe what I did, but all you have to do is ask a relative of mine. Here is the full list of mushrooms I brought in:

1) 25 Boletus Badius, one clearly outsized by at least 5 centimetres (Shown Below)

2)1 Gyroporus Castaneus, a rare mushroom forbidden to be collected in Russia, but I didn't know it back then (Below)

3) 52 Leccinum Scabrous, three of which (Found the year before in the same area) were monstrous.

4) 2 Boletus Erythropus, the one shown below found the day before in a park near the Vystrel area near Lake Senezh, Solnechnogorsk.

5) 126 Boletus Edulis, at least half were infested with maggots. The best ones are shown below, the best is above. One gigantic one was found in the year 2014.

6) A nice Gyroporus Cyanescens that unfortunately was infested.

These above are all true figures, but the year 2013 was not only the best year. In 2012, I suspect I found the biggest Boletus Edulis ever, 57 cm in diameter.
