Learn about how to ethically and sustainably harvest early season mushrooms—specifically, oyster mushrooms—on Madeline Island.  Learn about weather patterns, phenology, habitat, and safe harvesting techniques.   Also learn about how to store, preserve and prepare your harvested mushrooms.  Finding mushrooms is not guaranteed but likely.
