It's been a hot and dry summer here in the Pacific Northwest, but that's not stopping the wild edible mushrooms from popping up. Some of the most sought-after wild edible mushrooms can be found right now if you know where to look and what they look like. Aaron Hilliard, vice president of the Kitsap peninsula mycological Society, takes us on a jaunt into the forest to discover the delicious wild fungi that can be found in July and August of 2023.
Golden chanterelle mushrooms are some of the most popular wild edibles in the world, and they're fruiting right now in large numbers, but they can be kind of tough to spot. Watch this video to learn what they look like and how to spot them. Also a strange symbiotic relationship between a host and a parasitic mushroom creates a really exotic looking and delicious wild edible mushroom known as the lobster mushroom. I found both of these growing on the same trail this week.
