Mushroom Hunting Anyone? NMMS Annual Membership and 2013 Foray
Item Number: 312
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
The New Mexico Mycological Society (NMMS), a non-profit organization, came together in 1984 when a small group of fungophiles met to share information about mushroom species which could be found in this area. Since then, besides the regular monthly meetings, we have held annual forays, built the herbarium of dried specimens at the University of New Mexico, exhibited at the New Mexico State Fair, and compiled lists of mushrooms found in New Mexico.
Purpose
The purpose of NMMS is to advance the understanding and stimulate the interest of the members in the field of mycology by
- Providing opportunities for study, holding conferences, facilitating cooperative research, arranging forays, and exchanging information among members.
- Interchanging specimens and information with other interested parties and organizations.
- Supporting efforts to preserve open spacesin the state of New Mexico.
Meetings
Society meetings alternate between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Each regular meeting features a program which aims to enhance members' knowledge and appreciation of the world of fungi. Any interested persons are welcome to attend.
