Years ago I bought a pack of shiitakes at Walmart. Like I said I rarely shop there, but it seems they sometimes sell interesting shrooms. fyi, creminis are often called Baby Bellos....they are juvenile portobellos.
I have heard (and seen on menus) the terms champinons, setas and hongos to refer to mushrooms

Setas is Spanish for mushrooms, generally. The ones in your pic are common white oysters. Not much flavor, sadly. The King Trumpet Oyster shrooms in my OP were very flavorful. Not a regular Walmart shopper so no idea if the Kings are available routinely. They were that same brand as in your pic.

Have you asked at S&S Auto since they know GDL dealers?

Here is link to free site with same story. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/12/30/mexicos-central-bank-to-launch-digital-currency-by-2024
IMO, it's AMLO blowing smoke (again). The independent Central Bank pretty much dissed AMLO's announcement.

I know you asked for local, and you may find one at the so-called Dollar store on the Ajijic plaza, however, the ones I got there (several years ago) just weren't accurate. I now have one from Amazon Mexico.

Oh no! Harry had said on FB that Chris was hospitalized in GDL, then moved to RMC. Had hoped she was getting better.
I first met Chris at the Culinary group...she was a great cook and genuinely nice person.
Descansa en Paz.

could someone give--or repeat--the address of the new location, please.

They are on the same street as before (Colon/Morelos), but now they are at the bottom of that street, same side.

So all you purist never haggle with your surgeon for medical procedures..it's part of the Mexican culture
Great idea---haggle and beat down his price just before he pulls out his scalpel.

La Noche Before Christmas
’Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature was stirring, My goodness! ¿Qué pasa?
The children were all tucked away in their camas,
The girls in their sleepers, the boys in piyamas.The stockings were hung, with mucho cuidado,
In hopes that old Santa would feel obligado,
To bring all the children, both buenos y malos,
Muchísimo candy, and other regalos.When out in the yard there arose tanto grito,
That I jumped to my feet like a scaredy-gatito.
I ran to the window and looked out afuera,
And who in the world do you think that it era?Saint Nick on his sleigh in a big red sombrero,
Came dashing toward me like a loco bombero.
And pulling his sleigh, instead of venados,
Were eight little burros venir-ing volados!I watched as they came and this kindhearted hombre,
Was whistling and shouting and calling por nombre:
“¡Ay Pancho, ay Cisco, ay Chuy, ay Flaco!”
“¡Ay Bella, Estrella, Chiquita y Paco!”Then he jumped off his sleigh with his hands on his pecho,
After landing on top of our very own techo.
And struggling to squeeze down our old chimenea,
He bounced off the hearth like a bowl of jalea.Now huffing and puffing at last in our sala,
With soot smeared all over his vestido de gala,
He filled all the stockings with buenos regalos,
For none of the niños had been muy malos.Then chuckling aloud feeling muy contento,
He turned in a flash and was gone like el viento.
And I heard him exclaim, y es la verdad,
“Merry Christmas to all, y ¡Feliz Navidad!”-

It may be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_eryngii
I think you are right! Thx. They certainly are far tastier than the normal oysters seen here, all white, little flavor, IMO.
Adding: panfried one for a test. The stems are quite different texture. For today's menu I will saute' tops and maybe play with stems another day---may be fine with longer cooking in a stew or soup???

The labeling on pkg. is no help, bought at Walmart a few days ago.
The pics are accurate to color...bronzish grey top with very white stems.

In keeping with my family's tradition of Seven Fishes (mas o menos) for Christmas Eve, lunch at Baja Norte.
Ceviche de atún.
Tostada de Guacamole y Camarones.

Agreed but we need to add to the list others who made poor choices
Obese people because they chose to over eat.
Type 2 diabetics because they chose a poor diet.
Possibly heart patients if they chose a diet with high cholesterol.
Possibly those over 80 because of limited life expectancy.
Anyone who had Covid before because they survived it the first time.
Let's add those who used poor judgement and caused an injury or accident. Why treat them?
The list goes on......
All these folks can continue to enter hospitals, AS LONG AS THEY ARE VACCINATED. Right now many surgeries and treatments such as chemo are being DELAYED thanks to the hospitals being full of UNvaxed.
-
The unvaxed should not be allowed in hospitals. Period.

Why wait? It's not like you have to marry TotalPlay. No contract. Easy install. If you don't like it stop paying the bill and poof! you're disconnected. Maybe you'd be less cranky if you had better internet 😎

As did thousands of companies employing more than 100 people.
Duh....the point was, FOX on-air employees push the anti-vax idiocy while their employer was one of earliest companies to push an employee vax policy and says over 90% have complied.

As an employer of over 100 people they would be required to follow the current federal mandate. It would be the same at any channel.
Fox announced their first vaccine policy in August 2021. The 100+ employee rule is scheduled to take effect January 4, 2022.

Just more scare tactics from mainstream media to keep people locked up., sad part is how compliant people are.
Just get your vaccine and wear your mask. 🙂

Infowars---seriously?? Run by that POS Alex Jones who claimed Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax?? He lost 4 court cases and now a jury will consider amount of damages. He'll be living under a bridge soon, thankfully.

It is my understanding that, as a citizen of Mexico, you are taxed on your world wide income not just money earned in Mexico. Yes, it all probably works out in the end BUT the nightmare of having to do two income tax returns is one I can live without.
Yes world-wide income if citizen.
It's bad enough I have to deal with IRS, don't want to also deal with Hacienda!
Again, the q.--- other than voting rights, what is the upside for dual Mexican citizenship for an American?

In any event,one should never haggle on food and quite frankly,I've pretty much stopped haggling on everything.
1 hour ago, Mostlylost said:Mexicans bargain (haggle) all the time if they think the product is overpriced, or they have seen it elsewhere for less.
I'm with @happyjillinon this. If I've seen it elsewhere for less I go back there and buy it. If I know it's overpriced, I walk away.

Other than right to vote, what are the advantages of acquiring MXN citizenship (dual to US in my case)?
What are disadvantages? My research shows one major disadvantage is requirement to file and pay MXN income taxes, and yes I know I can claim credit on US income tax.
