- For
- British Columbia mushroom foragers planning a drive
- Worth noticing
- The example chanterelle call cites 42 mm of rain over two weeks and 60–85-year-old Douglas-fir and hemlock.
Field notes
Pickable’s example call ties a specific rainfall total to a stand’s tree species and age, and gives a nearby landmark, elevation and estimated drive time. The site says its map draws on BC forest inventory and last summer’s fire perimeters, while treating habitat counts as possibilities rather than promises of mushrooms. Offline field mode and recurring real-weather calls are presented as app features, but the page is still inviting early testers.
