Mushroom harvest rules

Restricted

US Army Corps of Engineers project lands

Removing vegetative growth from Corps project lands is prohibited without written permission from the District Commander. Ask the project office about mushrooms.

36 CFR 327.14(a) prohibits destruction, injury, defacement, removal or alteration of public property, including vegetative growth, unless the District Commander gives written permission. The regulation does not mention mushrooms or say whether fungi count as vegetative growth; check with the project manager's office.
