Mushroom Hunts Open to the Public

MMHC offers a number of events throughout the mushroom hunting season. Additionally it hosts an annual Spring potluck and meeting, a winter gathering and off-season seminars open to all members.

Please note that these public hunts represent only about 20% of the hunts that are held by and available to our club members. For information regarding membership in the MMHC please click here.

From time-to-time changes need to be made to the schedule and are not always reflected on this page. We recommend that if you are going to be attending a hunt you contact the hunt leader to verify the date, time, and location of the hunt.
