Multi-Day Forays

Attending a multi-day foray is a fun, exciting and rewarding experience. These forays provide opportunities for amateurs to rub elbows with professionals and well known advanced amateurs, go on fungus hunting walks in areas that are unfamiliar to you, hear talks from some of the foremost mycological experts, and make new mycophile friends. Some annual forays that our members have attended are listed below. There are many others around the country; check "Events" on the NAMA web site if you are interested.

Join us for NEMF 2025, a special gathering in Ithaca, NY, celebrating the theme Women in Mycology. This year’s foray will explore the rich fungal diversity of the Finger Lakes region while honoring the contributions of women in the field. We’ll also highlight the intersection of mycology and entomology, inspired by the legacy of Samuel Ristich.
