Perhaps even more
than with plants, learning to safely identify and eat mushrooms is best learned
in the company of experts. The Pacific
Northwest has an abundance of very active mushroom societies and for less than
a cost of a sit down dinner, you can surround yourself with friendly folks that
will teach you how to find gold growing on the moss and jewels clinging to the
logs... all free for the taking, and tasty in your homemade dinner!
