Wild mushrooms of Vancouver include the highly sought after morels. Some mushroom hunters spend years in the woods trying to find true morels. This cluster of morels hanging out by Main Street.
Several known clusters of blonde morels and black morels are scattered around the urban core.
The Columbian covered the topic of highway trash. The article does a lot to flush out the topic but oddly, homeless camp trash wasn’t mentioned. Camp trash counts for an ever increasing amount of trash a long urban freeways. In downtown, non-homeless trash is statistically insignificant. One camp with 500 to 5,000 lbs of trash makes the occasional burger wrapper blown out of a car irrelevant. The news article does not explain why it leaves out the homeless camp aspect of the litter challenge.
