LAMS is a non-profit group whose purpose is to foster and expand the understanding and appreciation of mycology (that is the study of mushrooms and fungi).

We create and sponsor fun mushroom related events and help people learn about and identify mushrooms they find in the greater Los Angeles area.

 

May 13 (Sunday) 9:30 AM Foray to Barton Flats in the San Bernardino Mountains.

 

May 21 (Monday) 7:30 PM LAMS General Meeting, Times-Mirror Meeting Room

 Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

Speaker: Denis R Benjamin, M.D.

Program: "Who gets poisoned and why?

(The sociology of mushroom poisoning and how to avoid being the next victim)"

The talk covers the most common mistakes made by mycophagists and may be the original script for “Dumb and Dumber.” The audience will learn the simple secrets needed to avoid becoming a news headline.
