foraging together for 50 years
Connecticut Valley Mycological Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1975. We are a community of people with a passion for the natural world. Our mission is three fold: spread awareness, keep a scientific record, and have fun doing it!
Learn
Through collection and identification, learn all about mushrooms and their diversity of color and form under the guidance and supervision of competent amateur mycologists.
Exchange
Trade ideas, recipes, experiences, and more! Our members all have different reasons for their interest in mushrooms.
From art to science, from food to forest bathing, CVMS has something for everyone.

We’re not just a club, but a community. Participate in weekly forays through the forest and regular potluck events. Get to know new people with diverse interests and experiences. Receive a yearly newsletter about club happenings and learn about regional foraging events.
