FIND FELLOW MUSHROOM HUNTERS
The North American Mycological Society’s website has lists of mushroom clubs in many cities. There’s no better way to learn about mushrooms than to join with others to try to figure them out. Local clubs hold forays, cook-and-taste parties, lectures, and more. See if there’s a club in you city.
