Montreal, the most populous city in Canada, is a leading centre of commerce, finance, education, technology, art, culture and food. It’s a great place to take a shrooms trip, with many interesting things to see and do such as Mount Royal Park, Old Montreal, Notre Dame Basilica, the Montreal Botanical Garden or even watching a Montreal Canadiens hockey game. And don’t forget to try a legendary smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz’s or a poutine!

The montreal mushrooms  stretches from early spring to late October. During this time, mushrooms such as yellow Boletus and Cortinarii are at their peak. The fall mushrooming season is known as the “bumper period” as species such as Milk Caps, Tricholomas and Cortinarii are abundant.
