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. |
