Easton Mushroom Calendar

Easton sits in the Cascades and a damp, maritime-influenced climate — about 49.8 inches of rain a year, most of it falling in the cool months from fall into spring. The ground warms and reaches early fruiting potential around May, by which point the average last frost (May 9) has usually passed. 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. Winter then shuts the season down hard and early.
