LOWELL, Ore. (AP) — Oregon searchers have found a missing mushroom picker dead in the Willamette National Forest.

The Register-Guard reports that 54-year-old Dodie Throssel of Springfield was found Tuesday in woods off Goodman Creek Road. That’s about a half mile from where she parked her minivan on Saturday afternoon.

The Lane County sheriff’s office says friends found the woman’s minivan. They say she was lightly dressed and not prepared for bad weather.

No immediate information on a cause of death.
