Brookings Mushroom Calendar

Brookings sits in the Coast Range and one of the wetter corners of the region — about 77.6 inches of rain a year, most of it falling in the cool months from fall into spring. Mushroom season around Brookings waxes and wanes with the rains but never truly closes — hard frost is rare enough here that there's no sharp start or end to the year. Summer dries out — July and August typically see under an inch of rain — and fruiting goes quiet until the rains return in September, kicking off the year's main flush.
