Issuance of Right of Entry Permit Number MP 2025 10-23

The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation has issued Right of Entry Permit Number MP 2025 10-23 to facilitate mushroom forays focused on educating participants about mushroom ecology and identification. The permit also authorizes the collection of limited specimen vouchers for DNA analysis and subsequent preservation at the San Diego Natural History Museum and the San Diego Herbarium. These activities will take place across several California locations, including Dos Picos Park, Felicita Park, Flinn Springs Park, Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, Louis A. Stelzer Park, Oakoasis Preserve, and Potrero Park. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 111411 and is administered by the County of San Diego, with Linnea Wier serving as the primary point of contact. Because the project consists of information collection work that poses no significant environmental impact, it has been granted an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15306. The permit was approved by the Department of Parks and Recreation on October 22, 2025, and the formal notice of exemption was completed on October 24, 2025.
