SUMMARY:NAMA_MX25: Journey to Ixtlan
DESCRIPTION:OAXACA!! The Third Regional Foray in Mexico with the Fungivore!\n\nIf you are anywhere near the orbit of anyone who took the leap to attend this first or second NAMA Mycological Forays in Mexico in 2023 and 2024\, you know\, because they haven’t shut up about it. What started out as a tantalizing idea in early 2022 became a pivotal and ground-breaking interconnection between mycologists in Mexico and the United States; long-time coming connections between the indigenous communities of Mexico State\, attendees and visiting chefs… connections that will last a lifetime! After two runs at the incredible Hotel Rodavento in Valle de Bravo\, we felt it was time to expand the range of NAMA programs to beating heart of ancient and modern Mexican mycological history: Oaxaca. \nWe shoot to pierce even deeper into the endless font of wisdom and knowledge that Mexico represents: This time\, in Book 3–sorry our third year–of our NAMA_MX Saga\, we take our Journey to Ixtlán.  Ixtlán de Juraez is the largest community within the Zapotec speaking Sierra Juarez\, part of the Sierra Norte mountain range of Southern\, Mexico in the state of Oaxaca\, comprising about 2500 people. Through collective community action\, they have created amazing infrastructure at their EcoturIxtlan adventure camp\, for lack of a better word: complete with conference center\, hikes\, natural beauty\, restaurant on-site\, temescal\, and wood-fire heated cabins for about 65 people to stay comfortably\, this mixed pine forest hideaway is a biodiversity playground… and literal playground! Oaxaca has been in the consciousness of the mycological world since the 1956 LIFE magazine featured a Oaxacan ‘shaman’ Maria Sabina and blew the lid off of “magic mushrooms.” Yes\, that was the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca! \nThe Fungivore has been operating in Oaxaca since 2019\, and in Ixtlan de Juarez since September of 2021\, our inaugural adventure with native guide Celestino Mendez. We are so excited to share this very special location with NAMA and the rest of North America. \n\n\nKey Trip Details\n\nLength: 6 nights\nAverage Foray Distance: 2 miles/day\nAltitude: 7\,000-9\,000 feet\nExertion Level: Easy to Moderate\nAccommodations:\n– 2 Nights in Oaxaca City\n– 4 Nights at EcoturIxtlan Cabañas\nAll meals included: 6 Dinners; 5 Breakfasts; 5 Lunches)\nAmenities: Incredible fungi-rich 40 acres of rustic accommodations & foraging grounds; optional temescal\, on-site restaurant\, fast wifi.\nCost: $2525.00***\n\n***EARLY BIRDS GET A $225 DISCOUNT if you register before 2/25/2025!***\nApply & Join Today >

SUMMARY:NAMA New England
DESCRIPTION:NAMA New England – Annual Foray\n\n\n\n\nPotash Hill\, Marlboro VT\, September 11-14\, 2025\n\n\nNAMA’s 2025 Annual Foray will convene at Potash Hill\, a repurposed former college campus\, near Marlboro\, Vermont\, September 11 to 14\, 2025! \nThe lush campus and grounds of Potash Hill feature a variety of housing and community-space options more than ample for our Annual Foray needs as well as hundreds of acres of lush woodland renowned for fungal bounty. Situated in the southern Vermont between Brattleboro and Wilmington\, the facility is encompassed by a 560-acre property with early 19th century farm houses\, arts and academic buildings\, expansive views and undeveloped forests with an extensive network of trails. Hartford’s Bradley Airport is located about 90 minutes away and Boston’s Logan Airport is 2.5 hours’ drive. There is also daily train service to Brattleboro from East Coast cities. \nMost of the cleared areas and buildings on the central campus are contained within approximately 65 acres. The rest of the campus is primarily undeveloped forest\, which Potash Hill’s management is committed to preserving. \nThe NAMA Foray Committee team can’t wait to build another Field of [Fungal] Dreams for your foraying pleasure and we hope to see you there! \nKen Beugeleisen\, Foray Committee Chair

SUMMARY:AMS Webinar: Mycorrhizal Fungi: Diversity\, Function and Mysteries of the Underground
DESCRIPTION:Alberta Mycological Society presents webinar “Mycorrhizal Fungi: Diversity\, Function and Mysteries of the Underground” by Jacob Beauregard\, PhD (University of Alberta). \nMycorrhizal fungi are globally distributed plant symbionts. While multiple groups of mycorrhizal fungi exist\, they share the fact that they form intimate relationships with plants – from the arctic to the tropics. However\, mycorrhizal fungi  span an incredible diversity of species and functional traits\, not only within groups but between them. Whether with grasses\, orchids\, or your favourite tree\, they are playing important roles right beneath your feet! Many questions remain in regard to their impacts on soil ecosystems\, the other microbes that live with them\, and how they play into making plants more resilient to changing environments. Join us in exploring who they are\, what they do\, and everything we don’t yet understand about them! \nJacob is a PhD student at the UofA in the mycorrhizal ecology lab of Dr. Justine Karst. While he is from Vancouver\, BC\, he recently moved to Alberta from Quebec and has a background in forest conservation\, management and microbial ecology. Jacob fell in love with fungi and never turned back – from mushrooms to molds\, he leads a mycocentric life and is on a mission to bring fungi to the forefront. He believes that fungi are for everyone from everywhere and that we just need to get their stories out there! While fanciful fungal stories do exist\, he believes they are wild and mysterious enough without the need for embellishment. He likes to live by the mantra – less hype\, more hyphae and hopes you’ll be equally inspired by the many mycological mysteries already out there!

SUMMARY:SOMA General Meeting and Lecture by Alison Pollack
DESCRIPTION:Sonoma County Mycological Assocaition’s general meeting will feature Alison Pollack lecture\, “From Macro to Micro – The Art of Mushroom & Myxo Photography”. \nAlison’s favorite photography subjects are tiny fungi and Myxomycetes (“Myxos” or “Slime Molds”)\, most so small that you would not see them as you walk through the forest. Alison will describe her evolution and process for creating beautiful photos of mushrooms and Myxos\, most barely a few millimeters tall. She will share her techniques for field work as well as studio photography using extreme macro lenses and microscope objectives adapted to her camera. And\, of course\, she will share some of her favorite photographs from local and distant regions. She will discuss all of the gear she uses as well as some of her methods for shooting and post-processing.  She will also discuss how to identify myxos using microscopy. \nAlison Pollack is a macro and extreme macro photographer specializing in Myxomycetes (slime molds) and tiny fungi. Her passion is finding and photographing these beautiful organisms\, especially the smaller ones\, to bring awareness to the spectacular beauty that exists right at our feet as we walk through the forest. Her goal is to reveal these miniature beauties of the forest in a format that is as much art as science. Alison shares her photographs online where she has amassed a large and enthusiastic following from around the world. Her otherworldly images are captioned with information about her subjects\, as well as technical details of her photography process. Alison’s photographs have been featured in dozens of print and online publications\, including National Geographic\, the Sunday New York Times\, Der Spiegel and Science Weekly.  She has been a top winner many times in the the prestigious Nikon Small World photography competition and is one of the Nikon Masters of Microscopy.

SUMMARY:NAMA Yoop Annual Foray
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to descend upon Michigan’s lushly mushroomy Upper Peninsula for our 66th Annual Foray! Join hundreds of your fellow mycophiles in a land where locals proudly declare themselves “Yoopers\,” amid thick forests during the prime foraying season. \nThe event will be held at the Northern Michigan University Event Center in Marquette\, which has a large ballroom\, several classrooms\, and easy parking.  But\, what it does NOT include is housing. \nSo\, the foray planning team recommends that if you’re thinking of going\, you should book your accommodations right away for Thursday Aug 27 to Sunday Aug 30\, 2026\, at whatever hotel\, or AirBNB\, or campgrounds suits you.  There are many to choose from.  Reserving now gives you plenty of choices\, but if you wait until later\, there will be less availability.  Also consider ride-sharing\, especially if you’re a member of any of the Host Clubs that are assisting NAMA with logistics and volunteers.   \nAlso\, you may want to arrive a day early to visit the local forests. The Foray team will distribute maps and recommended self-guided fungi collecting locations for attendees to spend time in the forests before the event begins.  This will replace our previous “early bird” forays.  We plan to have tables with voucher collection slips at all the recommended self-guided locations\, starting Wednesday Aug 26\, 2026 (the day before the event begins). \nTickets will go on sale in March 2026 for the NAMA Yoop foray.  We’ll have the schedule finalized by then\, as well as volunteer opportunities.  Please bring your UV lights because we’ll be doing evening walks on the shore of Lake Superior for Yooperlites\, which are UV-reflective stones. They are fairly easy to find\, and unique to the area. A fun keepsake to take home with you! \nWe cannot wait to see you UP there!
