They need rot not old growth. The mycellium never went away.
Kind of interesting that they need 500-1000 years to grow back when the original forest is more like 250 years old.

Maybe where cliffy is. On the coast there are pines in 80 year old second growth.
When the duff if burned off in a prescribed burn and/or the land is scarified, it will take hundreds of years for the mycelium of a pine to make a come back. Although I live in a rare inland temperate rain forest. the climate is drying up because of extensive logging. On the coast the moisture comes of the ocean but this far inland a lot of it is generated by the ecosystems. Ocean moisture has to jump over the arid Okanagan to get here.
There are old growth trees here that were as old as 3000 years old around the Galena Bay/Trout Lake areas. There is less that 5% of the old growth left in the Arrow Lakes. The flooding of the Arrow Lakes has also radically changed the climate here. The lake no longer freezes over in winter and we get about 1/3rd to 1/4 of the average snow fall as we did about 40 years ago. The average anual temperature are also higher so the cliamte may not be conducive to the pine mushrooms recovery.Kind of interesting that they need 500-1000 years to grow back when the original forest is more like 250 years old.
Tell that to the trees that were there with butts in the 12 - 16 foot diameter range. There were trees there that sprouted before JC was supposedly born. Have you ever been to this area? An inland temperate rain forest is an oddity. It doesn't follow the same rules as other areas. And no, Pine mushrooms do not recover that fast. You must be thinking of some other species.3000 years ago was too hot.
And you know this because...? Are you a climatologist? The trees that are there tell the story of there existence in their growth rings. They have been counted. They lived that long and there are still a few left living there.It it's not the same species as 3000 years ago and it wasn't a micro rainforest 3000 years ago.
BC where panhandling is a good paying job.
BC where jibrats scurry around stealing copper wire.
BC Where people smoke indoor weed and eat salad year round and call themselves green.
BC where nobody speaks the language.
The bozo moves from BC to a Regina slum and has the balls to diss BC?BUT B.C. by far the best province in Canada.![]()

You have to be broad minded about these things, Cliffy, maybe he doesn't like climbing hills!!The bozo moves from BC to a Regina slum and has the balls to diss BC?
