Wild Mushroom Foraging in October 2023
Aaron Hilliard, VP of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society and long time fungi enthusiast, amateur mycologist and long-time forager, takes us on a walk into the forest of Mushroom Wonderland (Western Washington). As we go along, Aaron will ID and describe the trailside mushrooms to help give you a better understanding of just what those mushrooms are on the side of the trail, and that ever important question- are they edible or poisonous!
On our walk we come across beautiful but toxic Agaricus deardorffensis, which could be confused for a good edible. Then we find 'Sulfur Tufts,' Hypholoma fasciculare," their close and edible relative Hypholoma capnoides. We see beautiful 'Honey Mushrooms," Armillaria species, and look at all of the features of these common mushrooms. We find Suillus lakei, with parasitic Gomphidius. We look at the very beautiful and fragrant Clitocybe odora. We also see the differences between false Chanterelles, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca- and the beautiful and sought after Pacific Golden Chanterelle, Cantharellus formosus. We discuss habitat and seasonality of different fungi.
Aaron not only forages for edible mushrooms, but he collects them for science. You can look up his observations on www.inaturalist.org if you search his name. You, too, can contribute to science if you sign up on the app or website and join in the projects for fungi. Mycology needs all the help it can get when it comes to tracking and understanding the lifestyles, populations, and habitats of fungi throughout the world.
