I live on the Olympic Peninsula and I'm looking for someone who would be willing to "train me" in mushroom hunting out of passion and fun. I just started to pursue this interest and I am confident in my ability to identify chantrelles, but that's about it. I did find a large cauliflower mushroom, which I feel pretty confident with as well, and I'm pretty sure I found a clump of oysters, but I feel less confident about this.
I would really like to get out in the forest with someone who knows what they're doing and would like to point out mushrooms, tell me what they are, and show me how to tell.
Let me know if you live on the Olympic Peninsula and are interested in teaching me,
Ruby
