British Columbia is home to a diverse range of mushrooms, including edible varieties like chanterelles, morels, and porcini, as well as numerous medicinal and toxic species. The province's varied climates and ecosystems support both mycorrhizal mushrooms, which form symbiotic relationships with trees, and saprophytic mushrooms, which decompose organic matter. Notable species include the oyster mushroom and the lion's mane mushroom, while caution is advised with poisonous varieties like the death cap and fly agaric. The region's rich biodiversity makes it a popular destination for foraging and mycology enthusiasts.
