She is excited about the tremendous diversity of fungi in the Door County Peninsula. Potawatomi State Park boasts many species in its varied habitats. The park is vast, with large open areas. The lack of under-brush provides very accessible foraging.

Our History

Wisconsin Mycological Society (WMS), was established many years ago, dedicated to the study and enjoyment of wild mushrooms and other fungi. Education, photography, safety and nature are our goals.  We do not ID mushrooms through this website.  If you are in need of an ID consider Wild Food Wisconsin or Mushroom Identification Group.
If You Suspect a Poisoning
If you suspect that you have consumed a poisonous mushroom, contact a physician, the closest hospital ER or dial 911.
