The Mycological Society of San Francisco, founded in 1950, aims to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of mushrooms and fungi while preserving their habitats and advocating for public rights to collect mushrooms on public lands. With a robust calendar of events, the society hosts monthly meetings featuring expert speakers, culinary explorations, and a signature Fungus Fair showcasing diverse mushroom species from the Bay Area.
Active in mycological education and research, the society engages members through forays, workshops, and a members-only email discussion group, fostering a community dedicated to the study and appreciation of fungi. Run by dedicated volunteers and supported by renowned scientific advisors, the MSSF also contributes to toxicology expertise in cases of mushroom poisoning, underlining its commitment to public safety and knowledge sharing.
