Find out moreTo foster and expand, through education and by example, the understanding and appreciation of mycology and to assist the general public and related institutions to further this goal. And to always keep the “fun” in fungus!
Find out moreMushrooms fascinate us! We hunt for scientific interest and for the table, encouraging a sense of wonder regarding one of the least-understood segments of our environment. Monthly meetings, guided local and long-distance forays and identification classes.
LearnMushrooms: we find them all over. They are ubiquitous and mysterious, common and rare, delicious and sometimes deadly. Mushrooms are among the oldest living things on earth, and a significant theme and resource in almost every human culture over the past 10,000 years. Want to know more? You are already a fungiphile.
Join us
To aid in promoting education we offer full and partial scholarships to members needing financial aid or who express a deep interest in mycology, and students pursuing an interest in fungi at various educational institutions.

First light is the time to get lucky. Edulius in January?
Coccoras are one of my favorite mushrooms to see and collect. The distinctive colors, thick cottony cap and striation on the cap edge makes this amanita a little easier to id. If I am unsure at any point, it stays in the ground and I take away the memory, image and sometimes a photo.
Debbie Viess has a very informative link here on BAMMS web site which tells more about this species.
You can go here for Mushroom Observer.
Amanita Calyptroderma - Fall Coccora - tan to light brown
Aminita vernicoccora - Spring Coccora - light yellow
