Salish Mushrooms

Salish Mushrooms is a Pacific Northwest mushroom-foraging and education brand serving people who want to identify mushrooms, find promising places to forage, and learn in the field. Its website and Forayz apps bring together maps, identification resources, online lessons, and guided experiences, with a focus on the forests and seasons of the region.

The Forayz map combines recent rainfall, soil temperature and moisture, tree species, and public-land information to help users assess foraging conditions. Free accounts provide maps, seasonal updates, and regional conditions; Pro membership adds expanded map tools, offline downloads, fruiting calendars, and access to online lessons. The brand also offers mushroom guides, a tree identification guide, flashcard-based study tools, and an interactive Bolete Finder with photo comparisons and safety warnings.

For hands-on learning, Salish Mushrooms runs guided mushroom tours near Seattle, private and group tours, classes, and identification workshops. Its resources cover edible and poisonous species, look-alikes, habitat clues, and seasonal topics such as morels. Together, these offerings support learning before, during, and after a foraging trip.
