Registration is now open for one of our two mushroom ID certification classes. This class will be held on Friday, February 25, 2022 – noon to 5 pm. The MMS conducts two mushroom certification classes annually for edible mushroom foraging. This class covers early season species: Morels, Chanterelles, Black Trumpet, and Sulphur Shelf; and the second covers late season species: Lobster Fungus, Hedgehog, Hericium species, Giant Puffball, and Hen of the Woods. This certification is required to sell wild mushrooms to food establishments in Minnesota (see MDA’s wild mushroom foraging page for more info).

Space is limited to 50 attendees so get your registration in soon! To learn more and register online for the class, go to Certified Wild Mushroom Harvester (class I). Registration will close at the end of Friday, February 11, 2022.

If you are only interested in safely identifing common edible mushrooms for your own personal consumption, an MMS membership provides plenty of opportunities to learn at club forays, meetings, and other events.

Purchase short and long sleeve tee-shirts, and sweatshirts with the MMS logo at the MMS online store.

Any items you buy can be shipped to you, or you can pick them up at the Threads & Inks store in Lakeville, MN. Make sure you order soon to get gift purchases in time for Christmas!

The MMS Silent Auction/Raffle Committee is requesting and accepting donations for the next MMS Silent Auction to be held for one week, early February 2022. We invite everyone to participate in this event by donating and bidding on items for this MMS fundraiser. Like last year, this will be an online event. This format needs a lot of preparation, so early donations are much appreciated. For ideas on what to donate and how to donate for this event, please refer to the details here.
