AMS membership aims to promote mycology and interaction and collaboration among mycologists from all areas of the science. A quarterly newsletter, regular conferences and forays are all avenues to bring members together to share their research, network and build the profile of mycology.

We encourage anyone interested in mycology and the aims of the society to apply for membership.

Several types of membership are offered, including Sustaining Membership, which provides an opportunity for members to make a larger contribution to running the society. Sustaining members will be listed (with their permission) in the December online newsletter of the AMS.

All individual memberships provide voting rights in Society general meetings.

In accordance with obligations under the Society’s Constitution, all new applications for membership are subject to ratification by Council.

If you wish to suppress your address on the public register please use this form.
