Whether you're a seasoned mycologist, a culinary enthusiast eager to forage for delectable mushrooms, a photographer seeking the perfect shot, or someone who simply enjoys enriching country walks with newfound knowledge, our group offers something for everyone. Fungi are not just organisms; they're gateways to understanding ecosystems, appreciating natural beauty, and even exploring gourmet delights.
Join us and connect with a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion. We host regular outings, workshops, and events that cater to all levels of interest and expertise. By signing up, you'll gain access to a wealth of information, expert guidance, and the opportunity to contribute to local fungal records.

Our annual membership fee is £8 for individuals and £10 for families. We welcome anyone interested in fungi, from beginners to the very experienced.
We organise (free) field meetings for members in the spring and autumn, and from time to time, workshops for a small additional fee (£5 last year); in the autumn we hold an AGM and social. We also have an email newsgroup on groups.io which we use to send out meeting reminders, and reports, photos and species lists after each meeting.
Our field meetings often require walking through muddy woods and fields, so appropriate footwear is needed.
