About Us

Our Philosophy

The Paths We Travel

This is a place for the interested people of Alabama (and nearby) to discuss and learn about the diverse, photogenic, and often quite tasty mushrooms in our region. Here we can help each other identify unfamiliar fruiting bodies, share good foraging territory with the new folk, gloat excellent finds, share recipes, and generally encourage each other to get out there and explore!

The Paths We Travel

We're interested in appreciating the fungus amongus by striking out into our beautiful Alabamian backyard, collecting, documenting, identifying, and often eating some of the most coveted ingredients on the planet.
