That's a real nice blasto merletti.....I was told this weekend by a LFS that get stuff from one of the largest wholesalers in the country that Blasto merletti are going to not be collected in the wild any longer. I guess they are being added to a permanent list to stop collection. Not sure of the truth of it but the LFS had ordered 4-5 wild colonies and the wholesalers called them and told them personally over the phone.
