Did you know that 3,400 species of mushrooms have been described in BC? BC’s Marvellous Mushrooms introduces a cross-section of different species—some familiar, some bizarre, some delicious and some deadly. Their lives are interwoven with every part of British Columbia ecosystems. Mushrooms are a subject of scientific study and also a source of food, dyes, and medicine. To some people, they are objects of ceremony and beauty. As you explore hand-sculpted mushroom models and foraging equipment, you will discover more about the versatile mushrooms of BC and their ecological and cultural roles.
