The Los Angeles Mycological Society (LAMS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1973 to promote the appreciation and study of fungi. We create events to help people learn about mushrooms and connect with other mushroom-enthusiasts in the greater LA area. In addition to the annual LA Wild Mushroom Fair that we host in February, from October through May we host guest speakers at our in-person meetings that are free and open to the public. LAMS members receive our monthly newsletter and are notified of forays, workshops, and other gatherings as they are scheduled.
