🍄✨Do you recognize any of these mushroom species? Tell us your favorite fungi below!
Mushrooms are nature’s magic, and San Juan Island is a paradise for mushroom lovers! Whether you’re a seasoned forager or just someone who loves nature’s wild wonders, these fascinating fungi are everywhere.
Here are some fun facts to fuel your mushroom curiosity:
🍄 Mushrooms are more like animals than plants!
While we often think of mushrooms as plants, they’re actually closer to animals in their biological structure. They breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, just like we do!

🍄 Mushrooms communicate through a ‘wood wide web'.
Beneath the forest floor, mushrooms connect to tree roots through mycelium, forming a vast underground network. This allows trees to share nutrients, even helping older trees feed younger ones!

🍄 Mushrooms are ancient!
Some mushroom species have been around for over 400 million years, predating even dinosaurs. It’s safe to say they’ve seen a lot of history!

🍄 They can break down harmful pollutants.
Mushrooms have an incredible ability to clean up environmental pollutants through a process called mycoremediation. Certain fungi can even break down plastic and oil spills!
