Island vibes—Vancouver Island

After recently acquiring a new vehicle, my wife and I decided to test it out by camping for a week on Vancouver Island. What an amazing place to explore backroads and shorelines. I can’t wait to get back.

Metchosin Mycoblitz 2017

November has made its way around once again and I found myself in Metchosin for another Mycoblitz. With Southern British Columbia experiencing a colder and drier than usual fall, we were unsure of what we would find in the forests around Metchosin. To our surprise and delight, there was still plenty of fungi to be found. Psilocybe pelliculosa (Conifer Psilocybe) and Auriscalpium vulgare (The Earpick Fungus) were some notable collections that made their way into our baskets. Until next year!
