San Gabriel Mountains Mushroom foraging in December

[Iliya]

Hello, I wanted to know if foraging mushrooms is a possible activity in the San Gabriel Mountains in December. I know that a permit is required, but I'm just curious if there are any mushrooms to forage at this time, or if the season is already over? If you dont know about San Gabriel Mountains, maybe you know better locations for foraging mushrooms near Los Angeles.

Foraging mushrooms in the San Gabriel Mountains in December can be hit or miss, as it depends on recent rainfall and temperatures. Typically, the best time for mushroom foraging near Los Angeles is late fall through early winter, especially after rains, so you might still find some species like oyster mushrooms or boletes if conditions are right. Alternatively, areas like the Angeles National Forest or further north toward Big Bear can also be promising spots, as long as you have the required permits and forage responsibly!
