We had an awesome mushroom hunting trip led by Brother Gerard! Brothers Mark, Cameron and Edmund were part of the group that ventured off the paths of nearby Burnaby Mountain, enjoying time together and discovering mushrooms among the trees.

Discoveries off the beaten path

The forest offered plenty to see, from mushrooms tucked among fallen leaves to clusters growing on old wood. There was no shortage of discoveries right in our backyard!

From forest to frying pan

We cooked and ate some of the mushrooms on the spot, and they were delicious! Sharing a freshly cooked meal together was a wonderful way to round out the adventure.
