Banned From National Forest, For-Profit Mushroom Pickers Go Underground [1]

"At a campground in northwestern Montana, 30 people are groggily gearing up for a day of mushroom picking.

Most are here because they want an excuse to get outside and taste some of the more exotic of Montana's wild mushrooms. But others, like Matt Zaitz from Kansas, are here to turn a profit.

'It's not easy work,' Zaitz says. 'It's tough.'"

Nicky Ouellet reports for NPR's Morning Edition August 31, 2016. [2]
