Nice post. I’ve been involved with the purchasing and selling of wild edibles at the commercial level pushing on 15 years now. The seasonal changes, the harvest, and also the people picking and the buy stations set up in remote areas through the PNW..all never ceases to amaze me.
I’ve been mushroom-foraging-curious for years (love the Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast book) and this is giving me the push I need to commit to learning more in 2025.
This is just great Mike! Sending it to my good friend botanist/mushroom maestro Tomas, who you'll have to meet one of these days.
Thanks Lloyd!! Would love that. Hopefully we'll be into them soon...

Dang, deep in the game! Sounds like a fascinating world - I've always wanted to check that out.
There is a book out there called The Mushroom Hunters - quite a bit of it is about my friend Jeremy. Fun read
Awesome, great rec. Will add that one to the list!
Great piece man! Makes me want to get out there and start looking under logs!
Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
They’ve all been real good brother! Looking forward to more too!
Dang, thank you. Stoked to keep the fun going
Also really enjoy serving non-foragers mushrooms dishes. Always fascinates people. They’re magical!
it's the best
Those are some of the best porcini I have ever seen, you my friend know where to look.
A little bit of luck goes a long way

Love that book
