About The Willamette Valley Mushroom Society

Our society is a membership organization for people in the Salem area, and beyond, who want to learn about and collect wild mushrooms. The club has in-person membership meetings with some being available via Zoom. These are open to the public. Check the Events page to learn more about our next meeting/event. In addition to our events, the club organizes member-only mushroom foraging events (called forays) in the spring and fall. We also offer a robust fungi identification educational series to help members learn more about the science of mushrooms.

We offer a robust fungi identification educational series to help members learn more about the science of mushrooms. The series includes a 12-module mycology course that can be taken with a planned guided group or done at a self pace solo or with a group of members of your choice.

Joining the society is a great way to connect and network with fellow mycology minded folks while expanding knowledge and having a great time foraging with future friends.
