We are a group of individuals who have come together as a non-profit organization for the sole purpose of learning to correctly identify mushrooms for our own personal use. We are fortunate to have eminent local mycologist Gene Butler as our guide and mentor. In addition to his many years of experience, we use Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest  by Steve Trudell and Joe Ammirati as our text book in learning to identify mushrooms.  All members or guests are encouraged to purchase a copy to gain the most benefit from the educational meetings. 

For those who are especially interested in edible mushrooms, we recommend a copy of The New Savory Wild Mushroom by Margaret McKenney & Daniel E. Stuntze, revised and edited by Joe Ammirati.
