Mushroom removal/camping generator ban
 

Makes no sense that you would make a new provision to allow berry picking for personal use but stop allowing mushroom picking?! They are both just the fruiting bodies of the plant. Removal does not harm the organism (mycelium) at all nor does it harm the future propagation. Make a provision for personal use of mushroom foraging.

As far as no generators at campgrounds - as a tent camper i love this and wish other places would require the same. As an RV owner, it's annoying but not impossible to deal with. So either way, I support the lack of gross emission smells, noise and potential sparks.
