SVIMS Mushroom Show - October 30, 2011


Submitted by Jean Johnson

The South Vancouver Island Mycological Society's 17th Annual Mushroom Show took place at Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary on October 30, 2011. Here are photos of some of the folks who contributed to an interesting and well-attended show. An article on the show will appear in the next Fungifama where we hope to thank everyone who was involved.

SVIMS Quadra Island Foray - Sept 30-Oct 2, 2011


Two dozen members of the South Vancouver Island Mycological Society (SVIMS) and more than fifty local enthusiasts packed the Heriot Bay Inn dining room on Friday, September 30 for the opening event of Wild Mushroom Weekend – 2011. Dr. Shannon Berch gave a lively presentation on west coast mushrooms.

On Saturday, forty-some visitors and Islanders spread out with the mission to find as many different species of mushrooms as possible. When the haul was unpacked, Shannon, Jim Jones, founder of the Bamfield Mushroom Festival, and other SVIMS members went to work. On Sunday morning, weekend participants (along with quite a bit of walk-in traffic) viewed 115 different species of mushroom laid out in the BayView Room at the HBI.

Here are some photos from the weekend.
