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!

SUMMARY:Similkameen Foray & Feast
DESCRIPTION:Save the date for the Similkameen Valley Foray & Feast\, the upcoming North American Mycological Society (NAMA) Regional Foray\, produced in partnership with the Vancouver Mycological Society based out of Manning Park Resort June 1 to 4\, 2026.  \nJoin fellow fungi fanatics in the Similkameen Valley\, British Columbia\, for a rare opportunity to explore post-burn landscapes in prime burn-morel season! This guided mushroom foray will take you deep into recently burned forest zones where the elusive fire morels fruit in abundance. During the day you will have the opportunity to learn how to recognize ideal burn-site indicators\, hone your identification skills and discover the unique ecology that drives these legendary mushrooms to fruit in such spectacular flushes. \nEvenings bring the comfort of Manning Park Resort’s cozy mountain-valley lodge\, where participants can share stories\, compare finds and enjoy hearty meals and local wines. Whether you’re a dedicated morel hunter from south of the border or a Canadian forager chasing the spring burn flushes\, this event promises education\, unforgettable camaraderie\, and – fire\, rain and luck align – a basket brimming with fresh morels. \nOur event will also include hands-on culinary workshops\, voucher and DNA-sequencing working with the MycoMap BC Network\, presentations from Canadian mycologists and culinary delights conjured by NAMA Culinary Arts Committee Chair Chef Julie Schreiber and a roster of rockstars. You won’t want to miss NAMA’s first Canadian foray since 2006!

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: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 >
