Exploring wild mushrooms in Southwest Virginia
It’s been raining on and off all night, and the mountains are misty as thirteen people gather in Jonesville to begin the hike. This is prime weather for mushrooms, says Laura Young, with the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. She helped plan this mushroom hike, which is led by Adam Boring, from Big Stone Gap.
