About Salish Mushrooms

Mushroom education, foraging tools, and guided experiences in the Pacific Northwest

Salish Mushrooms is a one-person operation based in Seattle, Washington. Since 2017, we’ve been building resources and community around wild mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest — through guided forays, hands-on classes, online courses, and digital tools designed for people who want to actually get out and find mushrooms.

Whether you’ve never foraged before or you’ve been hunting chanterelles for years, everything here is built around helping you go deeper — better identification skills, better spots, better understanding of the forests and ecosystems that produce these mushrooms.

Why “Salish” Salish Mushrooms operates on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish Tribe. The name reflects a connection to this land and a commitment to learning from the Indigenous communities who have understood these ecosystems for thousands of years. The mushrooms, the trees they grow with, and the forests we forage in are all part of a landscape shaped by Coast Salish stewardship — and that context matters to how we teach and practice foraging.
