Class B First-hand BFRO #46769

Mushroom picking couple scared out of a forest near Wilkeson

10 October 2014 3 pm Wilkeson, Pierce County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

A couple were picking mushrooms in dense old-growth forest in the afternoon when they heard crunching and repeated loud thumping likened to wood knocks from about 100 yards away. A few minutes later a loud snap like a small tree or large branch breaking occurred about 20 feet behind them. Frightened, they abandoned their mushrooms and left the area without seeing the source.
