The addition of fungi to items not allowed to be removed from the park shows a lack of understanding of biology. Picking certain fungi for personal use/consumption is no different than picking a blueberry. Fungi fruit from mycelium like a blueberry fruits on a blueberry bush. Most fungi are mycorrhizal meaning the grow in symbiotic relationship with trees, tree roots specifically. Picking a mushroom does no damage to the mycelium, the living organism. All picking does really is spread spores of that mushroom. The mycelium is still there underground and living. Foraging for mushrooms is a lifestyle the exact same lifestyle as hunting or fishing. Hunting and fishing are protected by state law. The ban on removal of fungi from state parks is short sided and not biologically sound.
