Former Vice President & Former Board Member at Large

Hi all, my name is Gary Schlapinski.
I have been a WMS member for about eight years now.

I operated a specialty food distribution business in Milwaukee. I’m fortunate to have many chef customers who also share a an interest in mycology.

In my college days I was a horticultural student , and that study helps me with plant and tree identification. - Cheers, Gary.

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.
