Taking a walk in the forest these days carries the added delight of fall mushrooms. Many different species show up in the forest. The oysters are especially plentiful growing on old alder trees, sometime just out of reach, and the chanterelles make their appearance through the forest floor. As with our Spring Mushroom Photo Page here is a selection of photographs we took of the fall mushrooms - from the classic to the strange. We also have Chanterelle Mushroom and Matsutake or Pine Mushroom pages.

Remember - always get your mushrooms checked by a knowledgeable person before eating. It's a good idea to eat just a little of an edible mushroom that is new to you and check for a reaction, then go wild and indulge in these fall offerings. This page shows both non- and edible mushrooms.
