Apalachicola National Forest
10–300 ft · FL🚗 Directions
Apalachicola NF in the Florida panhandle — the largest national forest in FL. Longleaf pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, and mixed hardwood hammocks. Chanterelles (Cantharellus cinnabarinus and C. lateritius) fruit prolifically in summer after heavy rain under live oak and beech. Oyster mushrooms year-round on fallen hardwoods. Limited morel habitat in river hammocks along the Apalachicola River. Humid subtropical climate means summer is peak season, not spring.
