Mushroom foraging laws in Prince Edward Island

Summary

The only mushroom-relevant rule we could verify is in the Provincial Parks Regulations, which ban removing any flower, shrub or plant from a provincial park without the minister's permission. They do not mention fungi, so ask the park. PEI's published sources don't spell out Crown land rules for mushrooms; check with the land manager before you pick.

Public land

Provincial parks: except with the minister's permission, no person may remove any flower, shrub or plant, or deface any natural object, in a provincial park (Provincial Parks Regulations, s. 2). The regulations do not define 'plant' or mention fungi. The copy we could verify is an office consolidation current to 2004, so confirm with the park. Other public land: no rule found. Federal lands follow their own rules.
