Meetings take place monthly during entire year and twice a month during the mushroom fruiting season (May and June, September and October). Forays are held monthly from May to October and twice a month during the mushroom fruiting season. Meetings and Forays are dedicated to learning and improving mushroom identification skills. A photo contest and a member contributed potluck dinner are the highlights at the close of the season. During Winter, the MMS also hosts an annual banquet. Additional educational programs are provided by invited professionals and by members of MMS.
