Home Page for the Mushroom Newsletter, Fungi-zette

These newsletters are published about twice a year from Greenville, California, and, except for a few special issues, cover mushrooms from around that area.

In these and subsequent issues, I will be talking about the mushrooms found mostly between Chester and Quincy, in the Northern Sierras of California. I may include mushroom recipes, anecdotes, and will try to feature at least one locally available mushroom by linking to a page on the S. F. Bay Area MykoWeb.com website.

To aid in understanding some of the terms used in my newsletters and the Mykoweb website, I have included a glossary, which was copied, with permission, from the Mykoweb website.

I hope to get comments, favorite recipes, stories about memorable mushroom finds, and encourage anyone with a question about an unfamiliar mushroom to contact me. If possible, I will try to help you identify the mushroom and maybe include it in a future issue.

I can be reached at (530) 284-6241 (unless I am out hunting for mushrooms).
