Why join the Fungus Federation?
Face it: you can learn a bit about mushrooming by coming to the Fungus Fair, sitting in on a few general meetings, and studying on your own. Or you can take it up a notch and gain a lot of knowledge by participating with a group of experienced foragers, mycologists, and mycophages. Have fun, learn and be safe! Joining FFSC is a bargain at $25 for new members and for yearly renewals.
Expand your knowledge! Monthly meetings September through May feature informal identification sessions, informative and renowned speakers, refreshments and great people. Members are eligible for free and reduced-cost classes, workshops and events.
Explore new places! Local day forays and weekend camping and lodging forays to the Sierras and North Coast, and beyond. Nothing compares with learning in the field from experienced collectors.
For the food and fun! We love cooking with mushrooms as much as we do finding them, and our culinary events are proof positive. We like to meet new people and have fun.
