Mists blue the sky from salted shore to high land meadow. With punctured cries, a distant crow departs his spartan post. Fallen leaves and forest duff gain voice, recounting in deep-down, dream-like whispers—“Time. Time. It is time! The mushrooms await!”
THOUGH THE NORTH PACIFIC COAST OF NORTH AMERICA IS BLESSED WITH MUSHROOMS throughout the year, autumn is high season for abundant and esculent fungi. Since 1986, we have featured an annual mushroom feast, bringing the flavors of the forager’s basket to the comfort of our table.
In this spirit, we once again present “A Menu for a Mycologist’s Dream.” With the driest summer and autumn in 65 years, some mushrooms may be scarce or limited. But our ever-changing nightly menu will be woven with whatever wild mushrooms nature offers up each day, supplemented as needed with interesting local mushrooms gathered fresh from a local farm.
Experience and taste the deep and enduring flavors of autumn mushrooms. Join with friends and family for a night you will all long remember.
