I had the pleasure of being invited to Vancouver Island for the annual fungal survey that is the Metchosin Mycoblitz. As usual, we had an enthusiastic group to help collect fungi. Andy MacKinnon and I led a group of about ten enthusiasts through the forest at Thunderbird Camp.

We managed to collect all sorts of specimens including Russula xerampelina, Tricholoma zelleri, Cystoderma amianthinum, and Marasmius copelandii (smells like garlic!).

Thank you to all who came out and helped in collecting and identifying! Looking forward to next year!
