How To Join
Become a member of PPMS today and get special access to forays, members-only events and more. Individual memberships are available for $30 a year and family memberships (any two adults + kids for free) for $40 a year. The season typically starts in mid-April until the mushrooms are done for the year mid-September. Membership applications for the following season are taken beginning September 15.
Membership benefits include exclusive, members-only forays (in season), where you’ll get hands-on, real-life experience and guidance from knowledgeable experts and, occasionally, from fungi celebrities like Britt Bunyard, the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Fungi magazine!
Forays are a great opportunity to connect with other amateur mycologists just like you, and to learn and have discussions about fungi and mushroom identification. Plus, we’ll take you to our top-secret mushroom hunting grounds and give you tips and advice about when, where and how to find the best mushrooms in the Southern Colorado region.
We ❤️ having new members sign up and we know you’re excited to get out there and start learning more about the wonderful world of fungi. We’re the same way, so you’re in good company. Please allow up to 3 business days for your payment to be processed before your welcome letter is emailed to you.

The Pikes Peak Mycological Society is a volunteer-run club and is 100% funded by our members and through donations. Your membership dollars help with the clubs expenses, including rental fees for meeting space, compensating speakers and education in the community. Every dollar that we collect stays right here in Southern Colorado and helps our club to grow and accomplish our mission of promoting a better understanding and knowledge about fungi in our local community. It is because of our loyal members and volunteers that PPMS is even possible.
If you would like to show your support, please purchase a membership or make a donation today.
