A wild mushroom CSA

Of the quiet harvest beneath the moss.

Cantharellus formosus · Hydnum repandum · Tricholoma magnivelare

Each week from October through June we walk the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula and bring back what's in season. Six pounds, on average, foraged that morning, packed in newsprint, and on your table by Friday supper.

The share, simply explained.

You pay once at the start of the season and we walk the woods on your behalf. Every Thursday we pack roughly six pounds of mushrooms — whatever the forest gave us that week — and a hand-written note saying what's in the bag and the simplest two ways to cook each species.

If a week is quiet, we send more dried stock from the cellar. If the woods are generous, you get whatever surplus there is. The share is a partnership with the forest's mood, not a subscription.

Pickup is at the Port Angeles farmers market on Saturday morning, or we deliver to Seattle on the Bainbridge ferry every other Friday for an extra fee.

— Two walks a month —

To learn the forest yourself.

We opened the box on a Friday in November. Inside: a wreath of chanterelles, three lobsters, and a card that read, in brown pencil, "the cottonwoods were generous this week." It felt less like a delivery and more like a letter from a friend in the woods.
