What We Do
Fair Poster The SDMS regularly hosts meetings, classes, forays, and "Fungus Fairs" for the promotion of this fascinating subject. We put the fun in fungus!
  • Meetings

    • We meet the first Monday of the month from October to May. We bring in mushrooms to identify, have slide shows, host guest lecturers, and share mushroom recipies and delectables.
  • Classes

    • Beginner and Intermediate mycology classes are offered from time to time for a reasonable fee. See Sporadic Press newsletter for schedule.
  • Forays

  • Fungus Fairs

    • The SDMS had its first (and very successful) Fungus Fair on February 01, 1998 in Balboa Park. It was free to the public, and over 800 attended! There were display tables with specimens of local fungi, mushroom photos, etc. The next Fungus Fair will be on February 19, 2012 at the Casa Del Prado, from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm.
