Mushrooms are an excellent and abundant food source in the Pacific Northwest, but they can be deadly without proper identification and preparation.
FutureNature is hosting John Masser of Empire Of Dirt Mushrooms. Johns mushroom farm is nestled in the foothills of Mt. Hood near Estacada, Oregon. Owner and grower John is a long-time mushroom lover. Inspired by the wild mushrooms he foraged while wandering the woods, he decided to try his hand at cultivating some popular culinary varieties. Empire of Dirt strives to produce culinary mushrooms of exceptional quality for customers who really care about their ingredients.
