| Description: | Incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 1984, the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz (FFSC) is made up of a collection of creative individuals who come together for the study and pursuit of wild mushrooms. Our goal is to make the science of amateur mycology interesting and enjoyable. We are all about keeping the "fun" in Fungus! Our purpose is to educate members and to hold meetings, field trips, and special events which promote education. |
| Mission: | To foster and expand, through education and by example, the understanding and appreciation of mycology and to assist the general public and related institutions or groups to further this goal. |
| Programs: | When weather permits, hold field trips to collect and identify wild fungi. The field trips range from local forays to weekend events in the Sierras and north coast areas. Beginning/Intermediate and Advanced Classes such as Mushroom Identification. Assist and help with the production, collecting, and staffing of the annual Fungus Fair held in January. |
| Meetings: | The FFSC gathers monthly from September through May and we welcome the general public. Our meetings include presentations by knowledgeable mycologists, informal mushroom identification and great refreshments. Meetings are typically held on the third Wednesday of the month, 7 PM at the Harvey West Scout House in Santa Cruz. See calendar on web site for additional dates and locations. |
