Edible Mushrooms of the PNW
Mushrooms grow in abundance in our areas nearly year around. Very few are poisonous, many of no culinary value, some are medicinal and a select group is some of the best food to enjoy. The Pacific Northwest is the region richest in edible mushroom in the Western hemisphere.

About the event
Some of our choice edible mushrooms such as morels and oysters are fruiting in spring and luckily they are fairly easy to identify, a fact that helps overcoming fungophobia and truly appreciate wild mushrooms. In addition many good edibles have so far underappreciated medicinal qualities. In this richly illustrated presentation Daniel will help you to get to know, identify and find these wonderful mushrooms while steering you clear of dangerous look-a-likes. You will be advised how to properly collect, carefully transport, safely prepare and reliably store your mushrooms. Key in finding prime mushrooms is getting to know their preferred habitat and their seasonality. In addition Daniel is mixing in some fungal fun & facts from his research and mushroaming travels.
