BEST MUSHROOM KNIFE Opinel No.08 Carbon Steel Folding Pocket Knife Buy Now On Amazon Price: $19.00 Buy Now $19 at REI Buy Now ...

A good pocket knife will get you started, but you might want to upgrade to a fancier curved mushroom knife. I use an Opinel No. 8 with a brush on one end that I used to clean dirt off my finds.

Along with a mushroom knife, a forager's basket is an essential tool for mushrooming. Here, a member's basket is filled with mushrooms, sticks, and moss.

You get a knife with a 2.8-inch stainless steel blade with natural wood handle, stiff brush, swivel hook and tungsten carbide and ceramic blade sharpener on a keychain.
