Integrating biological, socioeconomic, and managerial methods and results in the MAB mushroom study
Article Abstract:
Studies on mushroom harvesting for Washington state's Olympic Peninsula have yielded important information on creating sustainable development policies. Harvesters face a variety of difficulties such as low market prices and vandalism of equipment, but they also contribute to environmental degradation through illegal waste dumping and excessive exploitation. Successful policies should incorporate input from all interested parties, including harvesters and environmentalists.

Biological productivity of chanterelle mushrooms in and near the Olympic Peninsula Biosphere Reserve
Article Abstract:
Ongoing environmental research is contributing to sustainable development policies for the Olympic Peninsula Biosphere Reserve in Washington state. Increased commercial harvesting of edible mushrooms has prompted the research. Findings include the temporal and spatial requirements to enhance unit-area productivity and weather conditions needed for mushroom moisture contents. These findings are expected to enhance mushroom production.
