Anne Marceau of Rocky Harbour holds a bowl of the edible Mel-36 morel mushrooms, freshly picked in the Gros Morne area of Newfoundland.
 
After attending mushroom forays the last two Septembers, the Corner Brook woman now finds herself in the midst of studying some varieties of morel mushrooms in western Newfoundland that have never been seen in Canada before until recently.
In fact, one of those morels is “hitherto unknown to science,” according to Foray Newfoundland and Labrador, an amateur organization that studies mushrooms in the province.
According to the group, there are three species of morels in the province. Two have not been officially described before, although the DNA of one had been identified earlier from Scandinavia, China and the state of Washington. All three are found in western Newfoundland. The interesting one also found in other locations has been found in Corner Brook, the Port au Port Peninsula and on an island on the Naskaupi River in Labrador.
