Mushrooms & Fungi of Southwest Pennsylvania

The mushrooms depicted are the ones I have been picking and eating for close to 35 years.
It's not all of them because this is a new site. I will add more as time permits.

If you live in the northeast U.S.A., specifically the Mid Atlantic states ( Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and Washington D.C. ), then you more than likely will have the same varieties appearing during the seasons I have indicated, weather conditions permitting.

I don't get out West or down South so I can not speak for what mushroom varieties appear there.

I started this site to help people that live in my region and are interested in which varieties can be found,
the season they generally appear and the weather conditions existing during their discovery.
