On Saturday, November 9, four mycologists – Adolf and Oluna Ceska, Britt Bunyard, and Andy MacKinnon -- were on hand to lead some sixty searchers to Metchosin locations to collect mushrooms for identification. Searchers included Metchosin residents, members of the Southern Vancouver Island Mycological Society, and Pearson students. The Mycoblitz began at the parking lot of the Metchosin Municipal Hall and teams travelled to Pearson College lands, Camosun College's Van der Meer nature preserve, and the YMCA's Camp Thunderbird. |
