Recent rains have awakened the dormant mycelium in many species of fungi. The diversity of mushrooms is so high, that it is easy to make mistakes in their identification. Our next guided hike is organized in the Ottawa area for those who just start to pick up mushrooms and for those who already have some experience of mushroom hunting.
This guided tour is for those who like to explore new places. We'll meet in the center of Ottawa near Dow's Lake at 8:30 am and we'll go together to the Gatineau area from there. In Gatineau, we'll visit several areas near Val-des-Bois, including the area adjacent to several lakes and a small waterfall.
This is a trip for mushroom lovers. We will visit several places at the crown land in Quebec to explore suitable areas for mushroom harvesting. During our guided hike, we'll learn about various kinds of mushrooms and fungi.
This is a guided hike to learn more about fall mushrooms. We'll find out how to differentiate edible honey mushrooms from several other similar species, some of which can be poisonous. We'll also know about mushrooms associated with mycorrhiza of honey mushrooms such as Aborted Entoloma or shrimps of the woods.
This is a guided tour for those who are interested to know more about fall mushrooms and nature in Ottawa Valley. We plan to go to the Mayo area, Quebec. We'll visit the area, which is known as good for mushroom harvest, including many various species. At this time, we expect to find a diversity of Oyster Mushrooms, some boletes, perhaps, some honey mushrooms, some milk caps, and russula species.
