Mushroom Hunting Season Gets Underway

Bend, Ore. – Mushroom hunters are checking their maps before heading into local forests this month searching for wild mushrooms.

Mushrooms can retail for $20 a pound.

The National Interagency Fire Center says nearly a million acres of U.S. Forest Service land burned last year in Oregon, Idaho and Washington, much of it now is prime-mushroom hunting territory.

Harvesters who want the mushrooms for their personal use can gather up to 5 gallons a day without a permit.

Please be careful to correctly identify only the edible-type mushrooms.
