30147736A MUSHROOMS

Som Piada, left, sells mushrooms to Soulinh Souvannasay in the parking lot of the Crater Lake Inn in Chemult, Ore. A day of picking netted Piada $87.29 worth of matsutakes, which Souvannasay rounded up to $90.00. The elusive matsusake mushroom, which fetches a pretty penny in Japanese restaurants, can begin its journey on the floor of the Fremont-Winema National Forest in Chemult, Ore. Here immigrants from Laos, Cambodia and other countries search for the mushrooms, creating a fungal economy and an ad hoc community.
