Join me, wild mushroom hunting in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Whether you’re mushroom foraging in Washington state, Oregon, Northern California … or even far outside the PNW, across the pond in the UK or mainland Europe … there’s something in this video for you! February isn’t a typical month that we think to be mushroom foraging, but there’s always something out there!
In this episode, we encounter plenty of old friends (familiar mushrooms) and a couple mysteries too! Here’s a quick rundown of some of the things you’ll see:
00:00 Introduction

Whether mushroom foraging Washington state, Oregon, California or anywhere else in the PNW, this footage should closely align with lots of what you're seeing in your local forest.
The video footage here was filmed on February 2, 2024 in Western WA while out on a trail run. Even though we're super late into the mushroom season, there is still plenty to look at out there!
Thanks for watching - and happy trails!
