Rules vary

Provincial and territorial parks (Canada)

Rules differ by province and park. Most prohibit removing plants or natural objects, and some specifically address mushrooms, so check with the park before picking.

Provincial parks are governed by provincial park laws, not the national parks rules. Examples: Ontario Parks prohibits foraging for any plant or fungus; Alberta's regulation allows picking mushrooms with a conservation officer's oral approval; Quebec's park regulation lists mushrooms among things not to remove but allows non-commercial picking of edible plant products outside preservation zones; Manitoba allows small personal-use amounts in provincial parks. See this site's province pages for sources.
