The Asheville Mushroom Club (AMC) consists of folks in Western North Carolina whose common interest is fungi. Members may collect fungi in the wild, cultivate fungi in their gardens, or just enjoy cooking and eating mushrooms.
This Yahoo group has been set up to exchange ideas and coordinate impromptu forays and trips amongst members of the AMC. Belonging to this Yahoo group is NOT the same as belonging to the AMC and we have a separate email list for club members where we announce forays and events. We currently do not restrict membership to this yahoo group in order to allow for interested parties such as mycologists, prospective members and other folks involved with mushrooms, but not part of our club, to be able to join into discussions with club members.
Please do NOT claim to make positive identification of mushrooms whose photos are posted to this group. Merely offer helpful suggestions, guidelines, advice etc. No one should ever eat any mushroom based on information or advice posted here. Not all edible mushrooms are tolerated by everyone and not all experts agree to the edibility of certain mushrooms.
Please visit our Asheville Mushroom Club website to learn how to become a member or to find out additional information about current club events, forays and meetings. Note that you must be a member of the AMC club to attend club forays and events and we invite you to attend a meeting to see if you would like to join us as a member.
All postings must be mushroom related and courteous. No one has any obligation to answer questions as this group is all volunteer. Folks get busy and sometimes posts do not get answered. It is OK to post brief information about mushroom related products for sale and events of interest to members.
Please - no personal, business, political or religious related postings or signatures. Abuse of these policies may cause you to be removed from the group. Thanks
