Go Mushroom A-Hunting

“Photographer Eirik Johnson used to go hunting mushrooms as a kid. Ferreting about in the woods of the Pacific Northwest was a family day out — getting outdoors and getting hands filthy was the goal, and any mushroom finds, a bonus. But when Johnson moved back to his native Seattle a few years ago, and heard his forager friends talk about the significant commercial mushroom hunting in the surrounding national forests, he knew it was culture to be explored … and photographed.”
