But moist, forested Oregon-and the Cascadia ecoregion more broadly-has always been a "fungal paradise," according to mycologist Noah Siegel, coauthor of a 2024 guidebook, Mushrooms of Cascadia, that covers over 750 species. "They come in pretty much every single color possible and range from minuscule tiny little mushrooms that are a millimeter across to the Noble Polypores, which can be five feet across," Siegel says. "All of that is right under your nose, in the forest around you." It's truly a wonderland out there.

The grunion run starts in March and continues for six months, but harvesting is permitted only on specific days to allow the fish to successfully spawn and sustain their population.

Guerande Peninsula in Brittany produces Celtic sea salt, known as Sel de Guerande. Hand-harvested using a centuries-old craft, this mineral-rich salt provides health benefits and exceptional flavor.
