UK. Buyer Besare. ml Ml- Your article about Tom Fujimoto at Monterey Foods Low Profile, September. 1 4 contained a rather serious error. There is, at present, no certification of mushroom pickers and sellers by any government agency.

The Retail Food Protection branch of the FDA is currently considering a proposal that would require inspection of wild mushrooms by a properly qualified specialist. The proposal states, The inherent danger associated with consumption of wild mushrooms is so great that the regulatory authority is justified in prohibiting the sale or service of such mushrooms in retail food operations where no local inspection program exists." The Bay Area has no local inspection program. Also, local mycological societies have not endorsed or certified any pickers. Almost everything available in a grocery store or a restaurant is regulated to protect consumers yet wild mushrooms, traditionally shunned as dangerous, arc sold without regulation. This situation must be remedied.

The square was designed by Douglas Baylis and Francis McCarthy. To set the record straight, Thomas Church, noted landscape architect, was first consulted. Then Halprin was hired to do a redesign. Unfortunately, his plans would have cost more than the $50,000 budget. McCarthy and Baylis were then asked to design and oversee construction.

I have the as-built drawings. Ualprin's design was not used. Larry has a great talent, a great string of international successes. I'm sorry he feels a need to claim our modest park also.
