Hear it again: Ethical mushroom foraging
As we step into fall, and back into the rain... we thought we'd revisit a segment from last year about MUSHROOMS...
Mushroom foraging is a very popular pastime here in the Pacific Northwest.
Our rainy climate helps a wide variety of the fungi thrive, as well as the community that collects them.
After all, who doesn’t love a good mushroom? Producer Alec Cowan, that’s who.
Last fall, Alec took an excursion with some amateur mycologists to learn what it takes to become a good mushroom hunter... and why he should give the fungi another chance.
You can check out Alec's original story HERE, complete with a plethora of wonderful photos from his adventure.
