Oh my goodness. I had no idea.
The mushrooms here in the wet North Coast of Oregon are amazing – and we are not here at prime time!
The mushrooms are about to sprout like crazy – and what a sight watching and waiting for the buggers to grow!
We had a deluge of rain a few night ago and now the mushrooms are about to cover the moss covered forests here. A beautiful sight even if we will not get to take advantage of the harvest.
I did manage to gather a few mushrooms while searching around the park.
These were amateur finds but I was thrilled being able to gather this mini-crop.
And I did find a large (well, large by my beginner standards) lobster mushroom while hiking. What fun!
Believe that many folks visit the park solely for the mushrooms – that they are allowed to harvest for personal consumption.
I saw some potential harvesters earlier this week – alerting each other to possible opportunities. 
Should be quite a site with the mushrooms in full bloom. Can’t wait to return to see them take over the forest!
