Meetings & Forays

Mushroom ID session during a meeting

All regular MMS meetings are open to the public. Please feel free to attend, see what we are about and get to know us.

When: The MMS meets on the second Monday of each month. There is a second monthly meeting during the months of April, May (except when it falls on Memorial Day), September and October. The second meeting is on the fourth Monday of the month. All regular meetings are held from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Where: At this time, all MMS meetings are virtual events using Zoom. When it becomes possible to safely return to in-person meetings, we will return to our normal venue.  Meetings will be held in Borlaug Hall, room 335 on the U of MN St. Paul campus. Borlaug Hall is located at 1991 Upper Buford Circle.

Parking: The center of Buford Circle is a pay lot. Contract lots surround the pay lot, and include a small area at the base of the water tower.  These are contract lots up until 7:00 p.m, and after parking is free.  They are monitored, especially when school is in session.


MMS forays are guided events for the benefit of our members, the members of the North American Mycological Association (NAMA), and NAMA-affiliated mushroom clubs. Forays are held from May to October. Members receive foray details through the MMS Newsletter and MMS email.

Members are encouraged to use the MMS Voucher Collection Slips to assist us in correctly identifying any mushrooms collected on the forays.
