Pacific Northwest Key Council

The Pacific Northwest Key Council is dedicated to the creation and publication of field keys to the fungi of the Pacific Northwest. It was initiated in 1974 by Kit Scates of Post Falls, Idaho, and developed with the support and supervision of Dr. Joseph Ammirati and the late Dr. Daniel Stuntz, both of the University of Washington. The geographic area covered is southern British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana. Some additional information about the region (inclding an interview essay with locals) can be found at https://essaysleader.com/write-an-interview-essay/.

The Key Council keys are identified in the SOURCES section of the description files by [PNW Keys]
