SSMC: South Sound Mushroom Club

About the South Sound Mushroom Club

Club Member with Boletus edulus-- also known as the King Bolete or Porcini mushroom.

The South Sound Mushroom Club is dedicated to finding, identifying, and eating mushrooms.

 

Our primary events are monthly meetings, forays (mushroom hunts) during mushroom seasons, a yearly weekend getaway, and participation in local mushroom-related events (such as the Pacific Northwest Mushroom Festival).

Meetings

 

Meetings are usually the third Wednesday of every month at 7:00PM and are held at the:


Olympia Thurston County Association Of Realtors
510 Stoll Rd SE
Olympia, WA 98501

 

Check the Events page for the most up to date listings of meetings, forays, and other events.

Membership & Fees

 

The South Sound Mushroom Club openly invites the public to come to a meeting and see what we are all about. If you like what you see, you are invited to join and participate in the many guided forays, weekend trips, and other events.

 

The membership fee is due yearly and is $6 per person or $12 for a family membership. This money helps cover the cost of renting the meeting space and print materials.

 

Anyone attending a club foray is requried to join the club.

 

Chances are good you'll get at least $6 worth of edible mushrooms on the average foray, anyway!

 

For more information on membership, fees, or anything else mushroom-related, please feel free to contact us.
