Learn more below.

The purpose of the Humboldt Bay Mycological Society is to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of wild mushrooms through study and the exchange of information. Everyone who has an interest in wild mushrooms is welcome to become a HBMS member.

Your membership supports our nonprofit with scholarships, travel costs and honoraria for speakers, rental fees, initial fair costs, and hopefully even more as our membership grows! While our meetings from September-January are open and free to all, as a member you also get:

  • The HBMS email newsletter in April & September-January.

  • Free participation in members-only field trips & events

  • Pre-registration for HBMS workshops

  • Discount codes for events and merch

  • Free (and early!) entry to the 2025 Mushroom Fair

  • Advanced ordering on fair merchandise

  • To support the HBMS – our existence depends on your membership
