For a lot of Portlanders, fall means two things: rain and mushrooms. But mushroom foraging isn’t just about tromping through the woods and getting lucky; there’s a whole culture, etiquette, and even a kind of intuition behind it. Today we’re talking with Norther Emily, founder of Wild Solitude Guiding and a seasoned mushroom forager. We’ll get into the art of mushroom hunting, a few that you can easily identify, and which ones you should absolutely not mess with.

Discussed in today's episode:

• Oregon Mycological Society
