Wild mushroom pickers are exactly what you'd imagine them to be like IRL. Meet more of them this Sunday on CityTV.In the summer of 2015, thousands of people flocked to the remote forests of the Northwest Territories in search of a crop potentially worth a lot of cash. These nomadic pickers didn't come to harvest weed. Rather, they were involved in another kind of undocumented commerce which, it turns out, is also big business.The mysterious morel mushroom is an ingredient sought-after by some of the finest restaurants and French chefs in the world. For reasons scientists, climatologists, botanists and seasoned pickers can't quite explain, the morel mushroom magically appears on the scorched earth the year following a forest fire. In 2014, 385 wildfires charred 3.4 million hectares of Northwest Territories' boreal forests making it one of the worst wildfire seasons in documented history. As a result, thousands of mushroom hunters flocked like prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush.VICE sent Adam Gollner to Northern Canada to investigate the underground market of the elusive morel and see why these nomadic pickers have a reputation for being wilder than the mushrooms they hunt.Tune in to VICE on CITY this Sunday to watch the full length of Shroom Boom (or Bust).
