Modern Forager Learning to hunt for edible mushrooms & wild foods is not as difficult as you might think. Add your voice and follow our journey! Join the conversation!

Modern foragers find few things more exciting than walking into the forest and locating our own delicious source of wild edibles. Driven by the thrill of the hunt we can walk, hike, bike or drive miles upon miles to locate that special, hidden cache of edible mushrooms or wild foods. Nature’s rewards are always well worth the effort. Learning to hunt for edible foods is not as difficult as you mig

ht think. Research and education are the keys to success. Certain wild edibles are dangerous and should never to be taken lightly. However, arming yourself with the right knowledge and tools can turn anyone who is willing to learn into a successful and safe hunter. Whether you are starting your journey today or have been cultivating your obsession for years, add your voice.

Photo dump from the last few weeks, summer chanties and lobsters have been keeping us busy. After all this time chasing fungi, chanterelles are still my favorite to eat :) Always tasty as duxelles and friend to my tummy! Enjoyed some time in the coastal rainforest with Ginger - fun to see you as always!

Super fab day in the forest with Ginger on the Oregon coast! Finally a few summer chanties plus a coupla lobsters, hedgies and a catathelasma. Just enough fog drip to create some action. And of course Trent’s delicious omelettes this morning, yum!

A great day in the burn! Took us a day and a half to figure out target elevation, but our work paid off today. 50 lbs - a good haul for me and Trent, we don’t go too much harder than this. Pretty tuckered out and sooooo dirty :) I was pretty happy to check my location and see myself in the yellow on our maps. We’ve been putting offline maps through the paces, testing, testing, and more testing. Still a few bugs but so damn close. Hope ya’ll are filling baskets out there!

Out on the burn morel hunt in Eastern Oregon. It’s hot, hot, hot but the mushrooms are popping. Took us awhile to figure them out but they are here! Three burns in three days. Tired, dirty and happy :)

First OR burn hunt of the year for us! These big pickles often looked like grays but no fuzzy feet or double walls. Beefy though, growing w cedars and Doug firs. The conditions were somewhat perplexing at this particular burn, no flushes happening and very few other indicators (orange cups, calypsos), this lower elevation could be done. The weather has been hot/cold likely throwing some wrenches. Precipitation has been good lately rolling nicely through the cascades. Hoping for good things to come at higher elevations!
