The Mushroom Hunters

Commercial mushroom pickers endure some of the most labor-intensive work in the country. Still, mushroom hunting offers an attractive nine-to-five for those who prefer the woods to the city.

Produced for Impact and broadcast on Spectrum News.

About

Hello! My name is Evan Jacoby. Iā€™m a journalist with a focus on human behavior and the environment.

I produce a show called How To LA for KPCC / LAist. I also have stories with NPR, PRX, the Kitchen Sisters, Vice, LAist, Discovery+, Dateline NBC, and Spectrum News.

Foreground is a project I started to approach psychological and environmental questions, and highlight obscure or underreported stories. It currently represents my portfolio, but when I have the resources I plan to expand it into a collective that includes other journalists as well.
