NMMS/4cmc Foray 2o12

This year the New Mexico Mycological Society (NMMS) joins the Four Corners Mushroom Club (4cmc) to host a Mushroom Conference/Foray in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. 20 miles north of the NM-CO border, Pagosa nestles against the southern slopes of the San Juan Mountains.

NMMS & 4cmc welcome and encourage members of NAMA and other NAMA-affiliated mycological organizations to join us and our Foray Mycologists Steve Trudell and Britt Bunyard. Field trips will take us into the San Juan National Forest, where we'll visit elevations from 7500 ft to over 11,000.
