BLUE MOUNTAIN FORESTS' MUSHROOM PROGRAM Forest Information .................. 2 Questions and Answers......... .3 Recreation Fee Program.........4 Road Closure Info .................. 4 INSIDE....... The minimum charge for all forest product permits is $20. The cost per day to pick mushrooms is $2 per day and you will be required to buy a minimum, 10 consecutive- days permit for $20. An annual permit sells for $50.00. Points to Remember: ♦ Commercial mushroom picking is prohibited in wilderness areas. Possessing more than one gallon of mushrooms within Oregon wilderness areas or ﬁ ve gallons within Washington wilderness areas is considered commercial, and therefore, prohibited. ♦ If you are 18 years or older and plan to harvest mushrooms to sell, you are required to purchase a commercial mushroom permit. ♦ The Blue Mountain National Forests do not require free-use permits for individuals harvesting "incidental amounts" of mushrooms. To be consistent with State laws, "incidental amounts" are deﬁ ned as "possessing or transporting one gallon or less in Oregon and ﬁ ve gallons or less in Washington." ♦ If you plan to commercially pick mushrooms and camp on the National Forest, you must obtain an Industrial Camping Permit at the local Ranger District Ofﬁ ce. Some Districts will require you to stay in a designated Industrial Camp. ♦ A Northwest Forest Pass may be required if you park at participating trailheads on the Umatilla and Wallowa- Whitman National Forest. Not all trailheads require a pass and those that do will be signed accordingly. The Malheur Forest does not require the Northwest Forest Pass. ♦ The Blue Mountain Forests are working together to provide a program to meet everyone's needs. Know Your Mushrooms! Each year interest grows in harvesting wild edibles from National Forests around the country. In many places, it's bracken ferns or pine nuts, but locally the primary interest lies in wild mushrooms. Proper identiﬁ cation and determination of whether a mushroom is edible is solely the responsibility of the picker. Many questions often asked by the novice picker are: ♦ What is it? ♦ Is it edible? ♦ How do you cook it? There are many plant guidebooks available to as- sist with identiﬁ cation and can be found at local book stores ranging from $5.00 to $15.00. Other sources of informa- tion include your local librar- ies, county extension ofﬁ ces and book stores. Our word to the wise is: "When in doubt, throw it out!" QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR MUSHROOMERS WHO NEEDS A PERMIT TO PICK MUSHROOMS? A: A Commercial Mushroom Permit is required if you are 18 years or older and harvest mushrooms to sell, or if you plan to harvest, possess, or transport more than one gallon in Oregon or more than ﬁ ve gallons in Washington. You can not possess more that one gallon within Oregon wilderness boundaries or ﬁ ve gal- lons within Washington wilderness boundaries. HOW MUCH DO COMMERCIAL PERMITS COST? A: There are two types of commercial permits: (1) The consecutive-day permit, $2.00 per day, is a minimum $20.00, 10-day permit, (e.g., a 14-day permit will cost $28.00). (2) The annual permit costs $50.00 and is valid January 1 - December 31. These permits are good only for the person to whom they were issued and must be in possession of the picker when collecting, transporting, or selling mushrooms. WHERE CAN I PICK MUSHROOMS? A: Permits are good on the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National For- ests. You may pick commercially anywhere on these public lands EXCEPT: (1) in wilderness areas, and (2) other areas as designated by the Forest Service. Wilderness area boundaries may or may not be signed. Check your Forest map for Wilderness boundary information. Mushroom picking is not permitted in any botanical area, research area or other areas designated by the Forest Service. Ofﬁ ces issuing permits will provide a list of closed areas, if applicable. I BOUGHT A PERMIT THEN DECIDED NOT TO BUY OR PICK. CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK? A: No. Permit fees are not refundable. WHERE CAN I CAMP IF I COMMERCIALLY PICK MUSHROOMS? A: Industrial camping permits are available at local ranger district ofﬁ ces for people who pick mushrooms commercially. You must obtain a new industrial camping permit each time you change your camp location. Several Ranger Districts will have designated Industrial Camping Areas for commercial mushroom pickers. ARE ALL ROADS OPEN TO DRIVE ON? A: No. Open roads vary from area to area. Visitors are asked not to drive on water-saturated, muddy roads in spring and early summer. Vehicle weight and maneuvering cause road damage which makes road maintenance difﬁ cult throughout the summer. Check with the local ranger district ofﬁ ce for updates on road conditions and closures. WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T FOLLOW THE TERMS OF MY PERMIT? A: The Forest Service reserves the right to revoke the permit for noncompliance with permit conditions. In addition, you may be issued a citation, which may require you to appear in court, and/or pay a ﬁ ne if found guilty. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY TRASH? A: Pick it up and pack it out!
