With Covid-19 the club was faced with unprecedented challenges.  Other clubs across the country just sat, while we seemed to have flourished.  Rachel embraced ZOOM, learned it, held board meetings, and club meetings with enormous success.  She sought presentations all would enjoy, kept us connected with a wonderful newsletter, and helped get our membership out into the woods for ID clinics and forays.

Regina managed the membership as our club continued to grow and pulled us out of the woods at the Wynochee Foray when others could not step in and help.

As President, Corinne led us with new and fresh ideas. Corinne promoted the North American Mycoflora Project to the membership, and we are now very active in registered projects and the documentation of scientifically important finds.

Bobbi kept the coffee hot, set up and cleaned up our refreshments. She, with the help of others, kept us fed.

As Sargent of Arms, Jennifer greeted everyone at the meetings and kept track of attendance.  You could always rely on Jennifer to be at the door.

As webmaster, Steve revamped the website, sent notices and the newsletter.

After joining the club as VP in 2013, Chris started the Mushroom of the Month presentations.  After being elected to President at the end of 2013, Chris founded the President's Award and The Order of the Mushroom, successfully proposing Melodie Gates as the Order's original recipient.  In 2014 Chris also increased the club's participation in NAMA, by getting members involved with the 2014 NAMA Foray, for which he scouted foray locations, and then led forays, for PSMS.  In addition to monthly club presentations, Chris also did multiple presentations for the Pacific Northwest Mushroom Festival and the Lake Quinault Mushroom Festival.  In 2015 Chris volunteered for the US Forest Service's Girdwood Fungus Fair, in Girdwood, Alaska.  He drove up there with Melodie and extended the range of the SSMC to Alaska! 

As VP, Marie worked hard to create a Foray book and helped our club have informative forays.

Melodie has been a member of the mushroom club since 1996 when she took over the job of Treasurer. More than anything she helps to get members out into the woods. She has led forays for a number of years.
