Summary
Spring mushroom foragers in Oregon are already coming back from the forests with their bounty: baskets full of beautiful, delicious morels. On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast we get back into tips for beginner foragers, this time highlighting the morel mushroom, one of the most popular foraged mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest. Jess Liotta, an independent mushroom forager and guest instructor for Trackers Earth, returns to the podcast to give a primer on how to properly identify morels, where to find them and how to cook them into a delicious meal. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What is a morel and how can you identify it? A note of caution about so-called “false morels,” some of which are toxic. Where to find morels throughout the season. How to cook the delicious mushrooms, and few recipe ideas for foragers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
