The Forest Service lists mushrooms as a special forest product. Rules and permits are set by each forest, so check with the district office before you pick.
The Forest Service lists mushrooms among special forest products. Federal regulation prohibits removing a forest product except as authorized (36 CFR 261.6), and prohibits selling or exchanging a forest product obtained under free use. Whether personal-use picking is free, limited or needs a permit is decided by each national forest, so contact the district office. Wilderness areas and closures may add restrictions.
