The Directions page provides directions to our monthly meeting place in the Times-Mirror Meeting Room at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.  Our regular monthly meetings take place on the third Monday of each month at 7:30 PM.

Due to the hot, dry summer, LAMS (and most Southern California mushrooms) have entered a period of estivation.  There will be no further events on the LAMS public calendar until the general meeting in October.  Updates to this web page are unlikely before September.

Mycological Events Not Sponsored By LAMS

The following is a listing of events (mostly) outside of Southern California and sponsored by other organizations.  This is not a comprehensive listing of mycological events, only those likely to be of the greatest interest to the amateur mycological community in Southern California.  Inclusion of an event in this listing does not constitute an endorsement by LAMS, either of the event, or of the sponsoring organization(s).

NAMA 2010 50th Anniversary Foray
August 12-15, 2010

Winter Park, Colorado

The Colorado Mycological Society is delighted to welcome NAMA to the Centennial State for NAMA's 50th Anniversary Foray, August 12-15, 2010. The foray will be held at the same location as NAMA's memorable 1983 foray, YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch, 14 miles from Winter Park, high on the western slope of the Continental Divide at 8,700 feet. Nearby Rocky Mountain National Park is celebrating its 95th Anniversary this year, and at least one of our forays is planned to study fungi in that area.
