Mushrooms Are Life
The North American Mycological Association (NAMA) is a non-profit organization of professional and amateur mycologists with over 90 affiliated mycological societies in the United States and Canada. We are at the intersection of all things mushroom in North America. From DNA science to a walk in the woods, from taxonomy to gastronomy, from colors and art to poetry and a good story, from medicinal to mystical, opportunities to learn and connect through NAMA are unlimited!
