(April 26, 2024) — As the snow retreats, various fungi will begin sprouting on the forest floor. Personal-use mushroom picking is free and does not require a per- mit or payment under the legal limits, which authoriz- es an individual to harvest, possess, or transport less than a gallon in Oregon DQG OHVV WKDQ ¿YH JDOORQV in Washington. These free mushrooms are only avail- able for personal consump- tion and cannot be sold, bartered, or given away. A commercial mush- room permit is required for those that intend to harvest mushrooms to sell, or indi- viduals that plan to harvest, possess, or transport more than one gallon in Oregon RU PRUH WKDQ ¿YH JDOORQV in Washington. Commer- cial mushroom picking is prohibited in Wilderness areas; but mushrooms can be harvested for free use within Wilderness areas, up to the legal daily limits LGHQWL¿HGIRUHDFKVWDWH Commercial mush- room permits cost $2 per day, with a minimum pur- chase of 10 days ($20), or an annual permit (valid from May 1 – Dec. 31) for $100. An individual must be 18 years or older to purchase a commer- cial mushroom permit. The Forest Service requires an Industrial Camping Permit if commercial mushroom harvesters and buyers plan to camp overnight on Na- tional Forest System lands.

The public should be cautious when entering a recently burned area and be aware of increased hazards, particularly snags. Dead or dying trees that remain standing after a fire are unstable, especially in high winds.

With the continued growing interest in har- vesting mushrooms from National Forests, prop- er identification, and de- termination of whether a mushroom is edible or poi- sonous is vitally important and is the responsibility of the picker. Many forests mushroom varieties are poisonous. There are many guidebooks available to assist with identification. Some Forests offer field guides for sale.

Good News Only by Doris Brosnan The setting was George Fox College, the event was the Northwest College Championships, and we know who was there to help Whitworth University place second among nine track teams….

Mary Ann Elguezabal shares a delightful, warm-feeling story: [On May 1] “I came home from a Mustang softball game (we won!), and when I got to my front door, I saw a beautiful bouquet of home-grown ÀRZHUV,UHPHPEHUHGLWZDV0D\'D\,DOPRVWFULHG because I remember doing that with my children!

I thought this would be a short-term move, but she fell in love with Texas. We loved visiting her in Austin and made many trips during these past nine years. This week, she packed up two cars, hers and her boyfriend’s, Rudy Mikeska (a Texas Native), and their adorable English springer spaniel, Rocky, and made the IRXUGD\WUHNEDFNWR+HSSQHU7KH3DFL¿F1:LVFDOO- ing their names for a new adventure. They will be living with Mark and me while Rudy looks for a job in the PNW as a welder. Mahaley will be working remotely with the company uShip out of Austin, Texas. We are thrilled to have them back home!!!” Reminiscing and laughing were the most abundant activities last weekend when Doris Brosnan joined col- lege friends Ferne Healy (also a local school friend), from Roseburg, and Roberta “Bert” Donaldson, from Champoeg, on a trip to Baker City to reconnect with two more college friends, Dee Becker, and Judy Head. Even the wet weather did not dampen their pleasure in sharing time and memories, and they found a window of time for exploring some Baker City downtown shops and touring the town. A visit with Pat Prock, Ferne’s sis- ter, in Pendleton on their return trip was a great topper to a great weekend!
