Environment Canada has just sent out information that we are heading into a ridge of high-pressure starting May 31-June 1 that will bring temperatures 2 to 5 degrees above normal. This is not a high heat event but due to the recent cool, unsettled, and wet weather, this coming heat may produce a lot of mushrooms popping up, several species of which are toxic to humans, cats, and dogs. Please know your mushrooms and don’t let your pets eat mushrooms when out on walks.
The Amanita Mushrooms are especially toxic, and a couple of the Amanita species have been found on Thetis.
