Larry covered many aspects of the northwest’s edible mushrooms, including culture, symbiotic relationships, growth habits, gathering, and culinary uses.   Some of the fungi covered included the boletes, suillus, cantharellus, aminita, armillaria, hygrophorus, russula, the ever-popular matsutaki, and others.

Anyone interested in learning more about mushrooms can visit Larry’s site, The Fungal Jungle.
