Join me on another Spring Mushroom Foraging Walk, as we hike the forest trails of the Pacific Northwest in search of wild mushrooms. It's April, and that means Morels! In this special episode, we'll also visit the site of a recent Wildfire and update you on the current search for Burn Morels!
Whether you're right here in Western Washington State, or outside of WA in other parts of the PNW, like Oregon, Northern California, or British Columbia, there's a good chance that you'll be seeing lots of similar mushrooms fruiting in the forest near you. Similarly, even if you're mushroom hunting overseas, I'm always amazed at just how much overlap there typically is. There is something in here for everyone! So whether you're a seasoned mycologist looking to get your fungi fix, or a beginning mushroom hunter just starting down the path of mycology or trying out an interest in mushrooms, thanks for tuning in!
