Mycena News

The Mycena News is the newsletter of the Mycological Society of San Francisco. It is published from September through May. The Mycena News is full of articles about hunting mushrooms, eating mushrooms, and just about anything else you can think to do with mushrooms! You will also find reports on our activities and our current calendar of activities.

Beginning with September, 1997, each issue of the Mycena News will be available here in the Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). To keep the PDF file size "reasonable", some issues do not have all of the images that were included in the hard copy version of the Mycena News that is mailed to MSSF members. If you need the free Acrobat PDF reader, click on the "Get Acrobat" icon:

The newest issue of the Mycena News is only available to members.
