Aron Corbett
Board Member at Large

This year I am continuing my position on the Board of Directors for the Wisconsin Mycological Society.  I am an elementary special education teacher in Waukesha. I have two children and a beautiful wife.  I love foraging for edible mushrooms and I cultivate culinary mushrooms inside and outdoors.  It is an exciting time in the world of fungus and I feel confidence in the direction the WMS Board is heading. 

The emphasis on building a citizen scientist mycology movement,  and organizing online presentations during the pandemic are positive developments.

I would love to spearhead more projects that engage the broader community and continue organizing fun forays in the spring and summer.  Thank you for the support you provide to the Wisconsin Mycological Society.

If You Suspect a Poisoning
If you suspect you have consumed a poisonous mushroom, contact a physician, the closest hospital ER, poison control center, or dial 911, depending on the severity of the reaction.
US Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222
The North American Mycological Association (NAMA) has information that may also be of help. Click here.
​
 We do not ID mushrooms through this website. 
If you are in need of an ID consider uploading quality photos with multiple views of your specimen and descriptions of your find to Mushroom Observer or iNaturalist including our projects or post in Wild Food Wisconsin or Mushroom Identification Group.

If you contact us and provide a way to get back to you, we may be able to provide suggestions for more identification resources you can use. You are always responsible for your own decisions taken on the basis of identification resources.

We are affiliated with NAMA, a society that covers all of North America and includes many affiliate clubs. We also love to support regional  Wisconsin clubs and fungi related events. This includes the Madison Mycological Society and the Northwestern Wisconsin MycoEnthusiasts.

If you run or want to start a regional group, or one focused on a unique mycological topic, please do reach out to us.
