Revelstoke Mushroom Calendar
Revelstoke has one of the wetter corners of the region — about 80.2 inches of rain a year, most of it falling in the cool months from fall into spring. The ground warms and reaches early fruiting potential around June, though at this latitude freezing nights are possible in all but the warmest weeks. Rain barely lets up even at the height of summer, so something is usually fruiting, though the heaviest push still comes with the fall rains. Winter then shuts the season down hard and early.
