Goals
My hope is that by providing this service, isolated mushroomers might find opportunity to join with others close to home who could hunt, talk, and learn mushrooms together. It's like a dating service for lonely mushroomers, except all I do is maintain a name list; contact is up to the individual subscriber.
   I suggest that people investigate and, if practical, join their state clubs. I also encourage folks to consider the merits of membership in the North American Mycological Association (NAMA).
    I mean for ^mS^m to be and remain a simple, paperless, electronic service. It will use Email and minimal Webpages to provide information. It is, and will remain, free. There is no membership fee. There will be no requests for donations nor will I accept such. There also will be no advertizing, although I may choose to suggest the use of certain products or services.

To Subscribe
I will regularly update a simple list of names which includes each subscriber's Name, Town, State and Email address. (I prefer not to include street addresses or phone numbers; those can be obtained later through individual communication if desired.) To add your name to the list, just send me this information and say you want it added to the list. If later you want it removed or changed, just let me know.
Note: The subscriber list will specify that members belong to ^mS^m and the Four Corners Mushroom Club. If you would like to initiate a new club (for example: the Green River Puffball Society), just include that information in your Email message.

Who May Subscribe
The initial impetus to establish this club came from the Four Corners area (AZ,UT,CO,NM). However, It was apparent that the need for such and organization extends well beyond the borders of these four states. For example, neither Wyoming nor Nevada has a mycological club of which I'm aware, so I would also encourage folks in those states to consider membership. And if anyone in Idaho & Montana feels this would benefit them, they are welcome to join as well. I had not intended this service to extend above the Border, but when requested, I was pleased to offer help to some folks from British Columbia, who ultimately formed a new club: the Southern Interior Mycological Society.

Expectations:
I do not intend for ^mS^m to take the place of any established state mycology club, nor will it ever match the scope of  NAMA. I mean it to augment and support the functions of both. I again encourage every interested mushroomer to consider the benefits of membership in a more traditional mycological organization.
   The success of this project will depend on individual effort and individual responsibility. I'll maintain the name list; the rest is up to you. If you have suggestions for improving the site, I'll listen. If you want to organize an activity and post a notice here, we'll talk. And if you want to initiate a new club, this just might be the place to begin.

Cautionary Note & Disclaimer:
Because it is on the Web, this list will be publicly available, so those adding their names should consider this first. I will not distribute the list or any information contained theron to any interest, commercial or otherwise. I expressly prohibit use of the list beyond the purposes of this service.
