Banning the removal of "fungi" should not be a part of this Action. Instead, it should be added to the section that Allows the removal of edible fruits, berries and nuts. The language should include allowing the picking of edible mushrooms for personal consumption. The mushroom is essentially the fruiting body of the fungi. Removing the mushroom does not harm the mycelium which is the "body" of the organism. As a Virginian I have an stake in these lands and believe that the general public should be allowed this opportunity.
