WMS hosts monthly online lectures on Zoom available for all members to join live. Members receive an invitation to join the live Zoom via email approximately one week before the meeting and again the day before.

Some lectures have been recorded and can be viewed on our YouTube Page.

For upcoming lectures see our main events page!

You can download Zoom for free for desktop or mobile here.

You can always choose how you participate -- listening, unmuting yourself & speaking, or by typing in the chat. See below for a Zoom tutorial.

All Zoom meetings start at 6:30 PM CST.
Third Thursday of Each Month

We get going with 30 minutes of collaborative identification of WMS member fungi observations as everyone joins the meeting.

Presentations lengths will vary, however.

The Zoom address you need will be sent to WMS members by email. Be sure to watch for it & be sure your contact info with us is up-to-date!

Please don't hesitate to contact us with your questions or concerns. You can reach out using our contact form here or on our social media.

Whether it is making sure you can attend and enjoy our virtual meetings, or helping you find a ride to get to one of our in-person forays, we want to be sure all members have access.
