Canadian National Parks (Parks Canada)

Removing flora, which the regulations define to include fungi, from a national park is prohibited except under a permit.

Section 10 of the National Parks General Regulations says no person shall remove, deface, damage or destroy any flora or natural objects in a park, other than under a permit issued under the regulations (for example for scientific or park management purposes) or under the National Parks of Canada Land Use Planning Regulations. The regulations define flora as any plant matter, living or dead, including fungi and moulds. Confirm with the park before picking anything.
