Find Tofino 
Remember to look up occasionally when walking in the forest.
It's Mushroom Time
Taking a walk in the forest these days carries the added
delight of fall mushrooms. Many different species show up in the forest. The
oysters are especially plentiful growing on old alder trees, sometimes just out
of reach, and the chanterelles make their appearance through the forest floor.
As with our
Spring Mushroom Photo Page here is a
selection of photographs we took of the fall mushrooms - from the classic to
the strange. We also have Chanterelle Mushroom and Matsutake
or Pine Mushroom pages.
Remember - always get your mushrooms checked by a knowledgeable person before
eating. It's a good idea to eat just a little of an edible mushroom that is new
to you and check for a reaction, then go wild and indulge in these fall offerings.
This page shows both non- and edible mushrooms.
