City Fungi: Year-Round – Pacific Northwest Part of the Urban Wilds Series The Pacific Northwest is a fungal paradise. But you don’t need to hike into the backcountry to find the good stuff. Mushrooms are pushing up through woodchips, sidewalk cracks, dog parks, and green belts — if you know where and when to look. City Fungi: Year-Round – Pacific Northwest is your month-by-month urban guide to identifying, harvesting, and using wild mushrooms in and around cities like Portland, Seattle, Eugene, and beyond. This isn’t some nature-walk coffee table book. It’s a gritty, useful, and street-smart manual for foragers who live surrounded by pavement and still want to eat wild. Inside you'll find: 12-month seasonal breakdown of common urban mushrooms - Clear ID tips, toxic look-alikes, and safety warnings - Hot zones for mushrooms in parks, medians, yards, and sidewalks - Urban survival mindset blended with botanical precision - Over a dozen PNW-specific recipes to turn your finds into meals - Laws, ethics, and sustainability for the city-bound mushroom hunter Whether you're supplementing your groceries, building resilience, or just chasing the thrill of free food in the wild corners of your city, this book gives you the skills to see what’s been hiding in plain sight. Mushrooms don’t care where you live. They’re already growing there.
