Edible Wild Mushrooms in Summer, and Wild Mushroom foraging

Aaron Hilliard, vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula mycological Society, and his trusty hound lab Gunnar are going to take you into the woods to discover what wild mushrooms are growing in early summer, and their uses. Some should be avoided, some are delicious edible mushrooms that you should bring home to the table, either way, Mushroom Wonderland is excited to be the first to announce the arrival of early summer Chanterelle's! Or as we like to call them, butter sponges. Small little golden morsels of savory edamame delectability popping up in Conifer forests across the Pacific Northwest in late June and early July.
Chanterelle mushrooms are renowned the world over for their culinary value, there delicious taste, and the fact that they're easy to identify. There is probably no other edible mushroom more salt after in these parts then this one. Aaron shows what they look like when they are growing on the side of the trail, talks about the habitat in which they thrive, and what to expect for the future.
Then we go deeper into Mushroom Wonderland to discover several other species of mushrooms growing right next to the trail that you might want to identify. A couple varieties of Russula's, which are ground dwelling large gilled mushrooms, some of which are good to eat, others which are not, and an easy test to determine which is which.
We come across some brightly colored tree conchs that might pique your curiosity. Stick around to see the amazing beautiful forest, the quirky and imaginative music, and the beautiful fungi you can only find here in Mushroom Wonderland.
