Gillian Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 "Killarney Provincial Park straddles the boundary between a belt of gneiss (pronounced “nice”) that underlies the cottage country of Muskoka and Georgian Bay and a belt of deformed sedimentary rocks (sandstones and siltstones) to the northwest. In Killarney Provincial Park, a band of granite occurs along this geological boundary and these pink rocks are featured along the Highway 637 corridor northeast of the town of Killarney. Northwest of the highway corridor, along the canoe routes and hiking trails of Killarney Provincial Park, are the sedimentary rocks that include the white quartzite mountains that have made the park famous." Killarney Provincial Park We were hiking the Granite Ridge Trail in August, 2008 and took these pictures. I had no idea what kinds of mushrooms there were, just that there were a lot, and such variety. This was one hike on one trail! Oh...I wish I could turn back the clock and go gathering!! We made a Powerpoint presentation of our trip and called this section: "Fungal Interlude". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Awesome collage of colors. Killarney is awesome but be careful as its illegal to pick mushrooms in our parks. Not saying you were picking, just letting you know. Thanks for the warm photos on this cold Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Quite an array of fungi... Amanita, Lycoperdon, Hygrocybe, Ganoderma, Suillus, Ramaria, Clavulina, Hydnellum, Coprinellus, Gymnopilus, Russula, Leotia, and the non-fungal species of Monotropa... but not necessarily in this order.

Rest assured no picking, just photographs. Killarney is my favourite park in Ontario...we've visited many times. Canoeing, hiking, camping....love it! 7 hours ago, Dave W said: Quite an array of fungi...

Thanks Dave! I'll consult my field guide to look up some of those Genera. I realized that Monotropa uniflora was in there...not a fungus but I didn't know that in 2008. If you ever travel up to Ontario Killarney is definitely worth a visit in the summer (haven't been in the winter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Just giving ya a heads, don't mean to be a Grinch or anything. It would suck to get a ticket for 150$ for unlawful collecting of mushrooms If a couple accidentally fall into your pocket, hey stuff happens, ain't a crime if ya don't get caught 😯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 WHAT! a mushroom falls in your pocket? I carry a firearm, with a dog, most of the fall and it's seldom I see a conservation officer. If one was to "accidentally" have a fruiting body (much like a tree fruit) fall into ones pocket I don't feel the ecosystem would be disturbed 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniferfranklin Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Many people take supplements to address nutrient deficiencies besides nutritious food, exercise, and rest. Along with vitamins, minerals, and protein powders, specialized supplements like nootropics can specifically support brain function for overall improved mental performance.
