Learn more about mushrooms

One of the main purposes of PSMS is to educate our members and the Puget Sound community about the field of mycology. Our annual identification classes are taught by expert members and guest mycologists.

Fall 2010:

Beginning Mushroom Identification*:

Sign up now for the FIRST of three series of introduction-to-mushroom classes being offered this fall and winter. The classes are suitable for beginners and consist of four weekly classes taught by experienced members of PSMS.

The series covers basics of mushroom hunting , identification, common mushrooms of the PNW, mushroom toxins and toxic mushrooms, and mushrooms as a hobby (cooking, arts and crafts, etc.). The room holds 40, so the classes are limited to that number for each series.

Cost: The cost for each series of four classes is $40, and the classes are available to members only. The cost of membership is $30 per year.
