During our Spring Foray in McCall, Sara, our newsletter editor, had a wonderful conversation with Kathy Richmond about how she first stepped into the mushroom world. Kathy talked about her journey, her experiences in the field, and the practical identification tips she’s picked up along the way.

Keep an eye out for our August 1 newsletter, where you’ll find a full spotlight on Kathy and her insights for fellow foragers.

Thank you!
