Mushroom Harvesting Permit Policy Change
“To be responsive to the issue raised, we have made the decision to allow anyone 17 years of age or younger to gather mushrooms for free as long as they are with a parent or legal guardian who has purchased a permit. This will give children the opportunity to continue enjoying this activity with family members,” said Kelley.
Other public comments received will be considered by a Province Working Group in updating next year’s policy for mushroom collecting.
