In the latest episode of Your Wild Place, we talk to local mushroom extraordinaire, Don Childress, about foraging for fungi in the Scotchmans. Our wild backyard is full of nourishing food – berries, greens, and mushrooms are abundant. But knowing how to forage safely and responsibly is key to being a friend of our forests. Don will tell you all about the fungi that are harvestable in the spring as well as the fall. You’ll be surprised to know that morels are not the only delicious and abundant edible mushrooms in our local forests. Your wild place is a Podcast produced by the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness about the wild people and places in North Idaho and Northwest Montana.
