Mushroom harvest rules
Rules vary
Canadian Crown land
Rules differ by province and territory, and permits or local closures may apply. Check with the land manager before you pick.
Crown land is managed by each province or territory under its own rules. Examples: British Columbia allows picking on provincial Crown land without a permit, Nova Scotia allows small-scale personal-use foraging of plants and fungi, Yukon needs a free permit only for commercial morel picking, and several provinces have no mushroom-specific rule we could find. Closures can apply at any time. See this site's province pages for sources.
