Cascade Mycological Society Cookbook
The CMS Wild Mushroom Cookbook is the product of two years of recipe collecting and many memorable, pot luck dinners (like the Spring Potluck/Morel Stuffing Party/Grill Out) that gave CMS members the opportunity to savor many of the dishes in the book while communing with their fellow lovers of fungi. It is really much more than a cookbook. It is a snapshot of our regions fruiting schedule, abundant fungi, and tips and techniques collected by a network of mycology lovers with a lifetime of experiences to share.

Hand Crafted Wild Mushroom Earrings
If you are looking for mushroom earrings that look like the real thing you have come to the right place. These earrings are hand sculpted and painted by Sandy Patton, an artisan member of the Cascade Mycological Society. They look very much like the actual wild mushrooms they depict.
Product materials: Non-toxic natural clay, non-toxic water based acrylic paint, non-toxic varnish sealer, fish hook style wire earrings (silver or gold plated over brass). Most Mushrooms (without earring wire), are 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in length, but sizes and shape may vary. The size of each earring set are made to match. All product materials are non-toxic. Earrings are shipped in ready to gift packaging and includes a description of the wild mushroom depicted.
Shipping: Standard First Class shipping via the US Postal Service within the continental USA of $3.00 will be added at checkout.
Chanterelle (Cantharellus cascadensis)
Chanterelles are the most popular mushroom to wild harvest in the Northwest. Excellent mushroom for beginners. There is also a very tasty white species of Chanterelle.
Black Morel (Morchella snyderi – formerly elata)
There is nothing like the joy of finding this miniature Christmas tree like mushroom in the Spring. Broadly conical shaped cap with meandering dark brown to black ridges and lighter colored pits. Whitish to cream colored stem. Cap and stem are attached; both are hollow.
