Tofino Mushroom Calendar
Tofino sits in the Coast Range and one of the wetter corners of the region — about 128.8 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 April, though freezing nights return by October. 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.
