California

Discover the magic of California’s wild mushrooms.

From the cool, misty redwood forests of the north to the warm desert foothills in the south, California’s landscapes are alive with hidden treasures beneath the soil and leaves. Each region offers its own mix of colors, shapes, and earthy aromas that change with the seasons.

In the northern forests, mushrooms begin to appear in April and continue through the late fall rains. Farther south, the season awakens around October and lasts until spring, when the hills turn green again.
