From jewelry to recipes to science, there are all types of benefits in Utah’s mushrooms.
“Because they make up so much of the biomass that our forest trees are growing in, they’re in 50% of the soil, that’s a huge indicator of forest health,” said Ashley Simon, president of the Mushroom Society of Utah, explaining the choice of species.
Johnston said he launched Mushrooms of Utah in 2019, because he wanted a discussion group to talk about whether some mushrooms were edible. The Mushrooms of Utah group is designed to help people identify mushrooms by their scientific names, and prompt discussions about them. On the group’s Facebook page, it declares that “Mushrooms of Utah is dedicated to the amateur mushroom collector who may wish to eat some of the mushrooms you’ve found. We will attempt to inform participants on various aspects of toxicity.”
One of the rules of the Facebook group is “no promotion of illegal substances.” Johnston said the group is “against the use of psychedelic mushrooms for recreational use. They can be and are being used medicinally, by medical professionals.” Trying to balance that rule with the enthusiasm of some group members, he said, “gets pretty complex from time to time.”Mushrooms of Utah caters to the casual hobbyist and serious mushroom hunter alike.
Anderson said the experiences have been an “exciting science experiment” and they have had memorable mushroom moments — like when they found a mushroom by Spirit Lake in the Uinta Mountains.
