THE PURPOSE

of the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club is to promote the enjoyment, study, and exchange of information about wild mushrooms.  Everyone who has an interest in wild mushrooms is welcome to become a member.

We hold nine informative meetings a year and this year we are going to have eighteen mushroom walks or forays to help you learn about mushrooms.  There is no better way to learn mushrooms than to join a mushroom club.

THE WPMC GOALS ARE TO:

  • Provide organized Walks and Forays

  • Teach scientific methods of wild mushroom identification

  • Explore various art forms including photography

  • Share wild mushroom recipes

  • Educate the general public about the many aspects of wild mushrooms
