MUSHROOM SHOW! I'm doing a LIVE Periscoping Sat. NOV. 5th as a VIP at this years Metchosin BioBlitz / MycoBlitz on Vancouver Island

The Third Metchosin MycoBlitz will take place on Saturday, November 5, 2016. At the spring Metchosin BioBlitzes, we've counted all manner of birds, bugs, fish, plants, fungi, bees, butterflies,etc. Fungi, however, are thin on the ground in the spring, so we extend our blitzing to the fall in order to inventory some of the hundreds of fungi that press up their autumnal fruiting bodies.

A number of mycology specialists will be on hand to lead us to several Metchosin locations. At these locations the experts will do field identification and collect samples of mushrooms for table display and further study. Metchosin residents, members of the Southern Vancouver Island Mycological Society, Pearson students, and anyone else with an eye for/interest in mushrooms are welcome to join the MycoBlitz leaders on the Saturday hunt. Rain or shine!



Metchosin is a land of rare beauty and a home to important ecological resources. From her rocky shores on the Juan de Fuca Strait, to her rural and agricultural lowlands threaded with streams and lakes, to her conifer-populated highlands, Metchosin is home to a vast array of plants, algae, fungi, lichens, birds, mammals, arthropods, and marine life.
