New Mexico Mycological Society

The purpose of NMMS is to advance the understanding and stimulate the interest of its members in the field of mycology by providing opportunities for study, holding conferences, facilitating cooperative research, arranging forays, exchanging information among members, and interchanging specimens and information with other interested parties and organizations.

NMMS hosts monthly meetings open to all, members-only field trips and Annual Foray weekend in prime mushroom-foraging locations, and social events.

NMMS is an affiliated member of the North American Mycological Association, and NMMS members receive a discount on NAMA membership. NAMA holds Regional Forays as well as its Annual Foray.

Anyone can join the New Mexico Mycological Society!

Did you miss Dave Menicucci’s lecture to the club in July?  He will give his 

lecture again at the Albuquerque International District Library on San Pablo on 

August 8 from 10 to 11:30 and on August 9 from 10 to 11:30.  After the lectures 

NMMS will lead field trips to the Sandias on Friday and to the Jemez on 

Saturday.  Come join us!  Bring a friend; the meeting is open to all.  Field trip 

preference is given to lecture attendees.

No club meeting in November, but we look forward to our annual Potluck Party in December!

NMMS holds monthly meetings on the second Sunday of the month except for January, February, and December. These events are both social and educational, featuring speakers, presentations, or activities. Most meetings are held in Albuquerque, and 2-3 are held in Santa Fe. Programs and locations will be announced here.

Our meetings are open to everyone - members, potential members, visitors taking a look at the Club. All are welcome!

Although mushroom poisonings are fairly uncommon, they do occur, and in the last few years, reports of poisonings, some fatal, have increased notably. NMMS stresses that no wild mushrooms should be eaten without positive identification. If there is any doubt, look at it, photograph it if you like, but don't eat it! Furthermore, NMMS does not condone the use of psychoactive mushrooms or any fungus designated as a controlled substance. Besides the legal problems posed by possession, psychoactive fungi may contain substances which can be harmful or even fatal if ingested in sufficient amounts.
