MUSHROOM PICKING

  Visit Website :  https://visitrainier.com/mushroom-picking/

 When it comes to foraging for mushrooms in the Mount Rainier area, dozens of edible mushroom species begin to appear in late summer, but most species need the first fall rains before they emerge. Some species even wait until the first frost. As is well-known, mushrooms can be poisonous, so mushroom hunters must positively identify species before picking them. Familiarize yourself with safe, sustainable foraging practices.
