This full day tour is an immersive introduction to mushroom identification. We will visit at least two spots to find some of the more common, delectable species between Lumby and the wild forests of the Monashee.

Our wild mushroom tours are held in the autumn every year and start at 9am and finish by 3pm. The location for the meeting spot will be provided within the week of the tour. You can expect to drive beyond Lumby towards Mabel Lake. Please expect to provide your transportation.

Please note, this is not a mushroom picking tour, but a great way to learn the basics about mushrooms, and how to use an identification guidebook.

What Others Say

The mushroom tour offered by Elements Adventure and delivered by Charles was everything i had hoped it would be and then some. Charles is very knowledgeable and a skilled teacher. He was attentive to the group and had answers to all our questions. As stated by another reviewer if he didn't know the answer he said so and said he would get back to us. The mushroom tour, despite the rain, was simply delightful and highly recommended.
