2024 Northwest NAMA Camp

The location is deep within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, nestled among three stunningly picturesque (and active!) volcanoes (Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams)! Rich volcanic soil is full of life, especially fungi! Washington was the first state to declare an official state soil, called “Tokul.” This magical substrate fosters the growth of towering Douglas-firs, Western Hemlock (the official Washington state tree) and other conifers, which is why Washington is known as The Evergreen State.” These conifers host some incredible mushrooms, including the much-sought matsutake (Tricholoma murrillianum). You must be a member of NAMA and go here to Join and to see more about the foray. https://namyco.org/annual-foray/
