PVMA is the Pioneer Valley Mycological Association.

​

We are interested in fungi.

​

We like to be in a forest with others who are fascinated by fungi.

​

We educate each other and anyone who wants to learn more than they know already about fungi.

​

We take and give educational workshops.

​

We examine fungi under the microscope.

​

We photograph fungi and publish our collection walk lists.

​

We write a newsletter.

​

We cook, grow and/or eat fungi.

​

We participate in citizen science projects.

​

We participate in and lead identification and foraging walks for members, curious non-members, and community functions.

​

We attend multiple-day forays to work with and learn from each other, experienced amateurs and professionals of mycology.

​

We celebrate knowing a bit more about the fungi kingdom and its generally beneficient interactions with everything on our planet.

​

We read. We study. We ponder. We enjoy what we do for fun!

That’s the PVMA . . . Come join us!
