That’s the bag limit that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently announced it will introduce in state parks. This unexpected move surprised Minnesota foragers, a population that has grown in the years following COVID-19 and favors varieties like chanterelles, hen of the woods, and morel mushrooms.
