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

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.
