Wild Rivers Mushroom Club

 Wild Rivers Mushroom Club. Based in Brookings-Harbor Southern Oregon is a coastal based mycology group blessed with many differing types of terrain, which with our temperate climate affords our members a longer mushroom season than normal. Chantrelles (whites, golden & pigs ears) Morels, Matsutake, Boletus, Black Trumpets, Oysters, Lobsters & Hedgehogs (below) are some of our more common finds.

 Our membership range's in age & experience, with a sprinkling of  Northern Europeans who have found that the same wild delicacies they were used to collecting in their homelands can also be found on our coastal slopes. Mycology is a facinating hobby, which with the right equipment, knowledge, information & the help that a group like ours can give, can turn a walk in the woods, into a delightful way to spend a few hours. Most mycologist just love to be outdoors, getting excersise & gathering a few choice specimens to take home & enlighten a meal. For this epicurean delight, we have added a recipe page so that, not only our members but anyone can enjoy the fruits of their new hobby in more interesting ways than just with a steak...

Our web site will continue to grow & have more Mycology information added to it as time allows. At present our 'season' is almost over but, a new one is not far away. New members are always welcome, or just come along with us into the forests around our 'home' & see if you may like gathering on one of our regular forays.
