Spilydy Tyrooo, Warm Springs, Oregon P^ge 5 June 15, 2011 Great season for mushroom gatherers To the untrained eye they are hard to see. The mushrooms blend in to the forest floor, sometimes they are buried be neath pine needles, nearly invis ible. You have to compete with the other gatherers, and with the elk that also love eating them. Most importandy, you have to know which species are edible and which ones are deadly poison ous. The two most popular mush rooms to gather on the reserva tion are the m orels and the bo letes. B obby Sm ith and Kenman Miller just finished a record season collecting the mushrooms. The weather was perfect through spring, bringing up many good-sized morels and boletes, said Smith. They sold their mushrooms by the pound, going through a buyer in Culver. The mushrooms this year were especially heavy, so each bucketful had a good weight, Smith said. This made mush room picking especially profit able, besides providing the ben efit of being out in the forest, he said. Miller and Smith learned the gourm et mushroom business Courtesy photo. Bobby Smith and Kenman Miller gathered many pounds of mushrooms this year. years ago from Bruce Jim, who showed them where to look for, and how to spot the edible kinds of mushrooms. First-time pick- ers have a hard time seeing them. But in time the eye be- comes trained at spotting them. An experienced picker can point out a morel growing on the forest floor, and the novice will still have some trouble see ing it. The elusive bolete m ush rooms often are covered by pine needles. You spot them by no ticing where the needles appear to be bulging upward. Many times the elk have gotten there first, locating the mushrooms by sense of smell. There are some rules that should be follow ed w hen it comes to mushroom gathering, Smith said. For instance, he will avoid touching any kind of mushroom that he does not rec ognize, as some species are highly toxic. Also: When you pick a bolete, he said, leave the bottom part of the stem buried where you find the mushroom; so it grows back in the same place the next year. People have been collecting mushrooms in the Northwest for many years, but the com mercial market took off in the 1980s. Now mushroom picking is a profitable and competitive enterprise. — by Dave McMechan Warm Springs Community Calendar Births Ivan H ardisty Dimmick Javin Alexander Dimmick and Charlene Pearl Dimmick of Warm Springs are pleased to announce the birth of th eir son Ivan H ard isty Dimmick, born on June 1, 2011 .
