No luck with the pine mushrooms this year. Strange year with all the early rain and cool temps. I hear they are popping on the island now. We did really well with white and golden chanterelles this year though. Went out to Ucluelet in September for the first time and found a bunch. Had a great time with the kids and got some great eating mushrooms. If you guys are ever in the neighborhood lower mainland or vancouver island in the fall fishing and want to grab some shrooms I can point to you in the right direction.
Tried by whistler and pemberton but didn't find much besides some white chanterelles.
Then I went on wild goose chase for pines. Tried Chilliwack valley, Fraser Valley north of Hope, Squamish and didn't find one. Just more chanterelles.
Can't complain. Started a new channel to post the mushroom hunting. Here's a few for anyone interested.
