As the picking season kicks off, let’s discuss some things about one of the superstars and some of their cousins of the mushroom world!

These mushrooms all love similar conditions, and can be found where the earth has been disturbed, often a year or so after a forest fire. They also are early season mushrooms in SK, appearing in the spring.

Netsuke (pronounced net-skeh) are tiny, hand-carved sculptures from Japan, traditionally used as toggles to secure items like pouches or containers to a kimono sash. Dating back to the 17th century, they were both practical and artistic—often shaped like animals, people, or even mushrooms, symbolizing good fortune and everyday life.

A little piece of function, folklore, and fungi all in one.
