CVMS MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Connecticut Valley Mycological Society is a non-profit
organization of amateur mycologists who are committed to the promotion
of scientific and educational activities related to fungi. Through membership
and attendance of weekly forays, you will increase your knowledge of local
and seasonal wild mushrooms.
Our members have varied interests in the field of mycology
including taxonomy, cultivation, medicinal uses of fungi, ecology, mycophagy
(the cooking and eating of mushrooms), and the practical uses of fungi.
Membership also includes invitations to several great
potluck events featuring many mushroom dishes and other fantastic cooking.
Members have access to the CVMS lending library, a wonderful opportunity
to preview fungi guides before personal purchase.
Membership fees are paid yearly, or there is
a one-time lifetime membership fee. CVMS is affiliated with North American
Mycological Association, and CVMS members may join NAMA at a discounted
rate.
Weekly club forays are open to paid members
only.
New members note
The yearly schedule and handbook will be mailed to
you in April.
