COVID-19 UPDATE FOR FALL 2020
Yes, despite COVID-19, we will have a 2020-2021 mushrooming season – socially distant in a responsible manner. CMS monthly meetings will be streamed online to the CMS YouTube Channel until further notice. We will continue to announce all meetings on the CMS Website, on the CMS Facebook page, in the CMS Enews, and in the Eugene Weekly Calendar section. We will be having in person forays for CMS Members, more info on our Member Foray page. We encourage everyone to get outdoors and Recreate Responsibly!
The Mission of the Cascade Mycological Society
- to study fungi;
- to educate members and the public about fungi identification and ecology;
- to promote conservation of fungi;
- to promote health and safety in the gathering and consumption of edible fungi,
- and to have fun!
The Cascade Mycological Society (CMS) was created by a collective effort of people located in the Eugene/Springfield area of Oregon, who share a common interest in and appreciation for the Kingdom of Fungi. In order to focus our fungal fascination, we have formed an educational non-profit [501(c) 3] organization dedicated to the study and enjoyment of fungi and we would like you to join us.
