Welcome to SWMS – the mushroom society for nature lovers! As we embark on a new year, we're excited to continue our mission of educating the public about the fascinating world of mushrooms, especially those found in the PNW. For over a decade, we've been a thriving community of like-minded individuals, with many volunteers contributing to our success. Although the COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges, we adapted by organizing several forays in 2020 and 2021. We also continued to share our love of mushrooms through a private Facebook group and regular emails to our members.

We invite you to join us for an adventure in the woods, where you can learn from experienced mycologists, explore nature, and connect with other mushroom enthusiasts. Our meetings are free and open to all, and our forays are exclusively available to our members.

At each meeting and foray, we have an identification table where you can bring your mushroom finds for expert identification. We also share special finds, pictures, and articles throughout the month on our private Facebook group and through email.

Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming meeting topics and forays. We're looking forward to discovering the magic of mushrooms with you in the coming year!
