A mushroom club? That sounds interesting..
What exactly does it consist of? I always love to learn other ways I can live off the land

You know, I just might give that a try, me and my lady both love to eat mushrooms. I think this could be an interesting experience..
I retired the magic ones years ago though o.O hope none of those are involved.

Its cheap and forays are really fun! You will notice odd people in Mushroom clubs. Lol They may not have retired the "funny" shrooms. But thats not at all what these clubs are about.

I sell wild foods for a living. The best guide out there for the Pacific NW is Discovering Wild plants by Janice Schofield. Hands down.

Do you ship?

There's a group of people (Foraged and Found), who I buy huckleberries, mushrooms, truffles, fiddleheads, etc. from, but I don't often have time to consistently go to the farmer's market in Ballard to visit their stand.

I was actually derided by someone recently for buying huckleberries; she accused me of taking food from black bears. I told her that I would take her criticism under consideration.

Well I suppose you can't have too much contempt for Seattle & Portland with all the forest to table/farm to table restaurants that have blown up in those cities over the last few years......

Some folks will really fork over the coin at those restaurants where they proudly announce, "Everything you will eat tonight came from within 150 miles of your table".

Why any contempt? Foraged foods are abundant and sustainable. Bears are at carrying capacity statewide. No one's taking food out of their mouths.

Smossy I have a good one but I loaned it to my uncle.  I cant remember its title but I will get it back and pm you.  It is a soft cover, waterproof illustrated thick book which covers all grasses trees shrooms bush etc and even speaks of the Natives uses of plants.  Very good written by two professors here and oregon I think.  I got it from amazon for 25$ few years ago.  You would like it.  I like to carry it in my pack and consider it an emergency tool.  We could survive with no supplies if we had this knowledge in our heads.  Medicinal uses are covered too.

mudman, when you get the title of the book post it up. im sure others would be interested as i am
