Speakers include nationally known mycologists, outside specialists and knowledgeable members. We collect and study all kinds of mushrooms on these forays. We usually have them on Saturday or Sunday. We leave in the morning and are usually back by mid-afternoon. You must be a member of CMS to attend our forays.
Forays are probably the best way to learn to recognize different kinds of Colorado wild mushrooms.
They are also a good way to meet interesting people. CMS periodically offers classes in beginning mushroom identification for members and the general public. We also sponsor classes on growing edible mushrooms and mushroom photography. CMS offers free use of its mycology reference library to CMS members. You can check out field guides and other books at no charge.
