Effective Monday, Aug. 15, permits will be available for $20 to cover 10 consecu- tive harvest days, or $100 for an annual permit, for unlimit- ed quantities of the following species: Chanterelles, Boletus, Oyster, Sulfur Shelf Fungus, Slipper Jack, Imperial, Hedgehog, Shaggy Mane, Lobster, Cauliflower, Pigs Ear and Coral Fungus. “After reappraising our current permit options and investigating the commercial mushroom market, we deter- mined that our permit pricing was out of date,” said Lisa Romano, Siuslaw National Forest spokesperson. “Most other national forests in Oregon have already adopted the same or comparable per- mit pricing.” Current prices for com- mercial mushroom permits Aug. 15 • SHS ATHLETICS D AILY DOUBLES BEGIN C ROSS COUNTRY VOLLEYBALL F OOTBALL Aug. 19 • SHS HALL OF FAME I NDUCTION CEREMONY 5:30 P .
