Mushroom: The Journal of Wild Mushrooming is an educational publication devoted to the study and appreciation of wild mushrooms. Its website brings together guidance for beginners and experienced enthusiasts, with resources on mushroom identification, biology, taxonomy, history, and the relationship between fungi and people. Readers can explore an identification course covering topics such as species concepts, veils, and spore colors, alongside profiles of groups and species including Amanita, Echinodontium ballouii, and Spongiforma squarepantsii.

The journal also addresses the practical and safety aspects of mushrooming. Articles cover edibility and poisoning, cooking and preserving wild mushrooms, recipes, and accounts of poisonings involving Amanita regalis. Interviews, biographies, and historical features introduce mycologists and others connected with the field. Additional material includes reports from mushroom expeditions, photography, and resources for mushroom clubs.
