Are you mushroom foraging curious? Maybe you’ve been out a few times, but haven’t known what to look for? Worry not, the world of chanterelles is close at hand.
On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we get an education from Jess Liotta, an independent mushroom forager and guest instructor for Trackers Earth, a local organization that teaches outdoor skills.
Liotta dives into the basics of mushroom foraging, discusses how to get over our fears and, crucially, tells us what to do with all those tasty chanterelles. While many foragers jealously guard their knowledge, Liotta is happy to share.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
What makes the Pacific Northwest so good for mushrooms?
Getting over your fear of mushrooms, one nibble at a time.
How to get started foraging for chanterelles.
Liotta’s favorite chanterelle recipe, which is perfect for Thanksgiving.
