Pacific Northwest mushroom journal

Rooted in nature, grown in the Northwest.

Northwest Mushroom is an independent journal about mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest — culinary varieties, foraging safety, cultivation science and the wider wellness industry. We do not sell mushrooms or any other products.

Who we are

A regional take on the world of fungi

The Pacific Northwest is one of the richest mushroom regions anywhere. We write about the species that grow here, how growers and foragers approach them responsibly, and how the broader mushroom and wellness industry is changing.
