A Oregon Mushroom Hunting Photo Story

Damp woods outside Astoria, Oregon

Hundreds of types of unfamiliar mushrooms filled the forest

We hunted for chanterelles

Last year was a great year for mushrooms

This year, they're few and far between

But we found enough

And cooked a great meal of homemade pappardelle pasta with chanterelles and a little cream

To share with new friends and loved ones

Lots of tour companies and guides offer mushroom hunting excursions in Oregon. Wild Food Adventures offers regular foraging excursions, and Evergreen Escapeshttp://evergreenescapes.com/—a veteran tour company—has offered similar foraging tours in Oregon in the past.
