When and Where do We Meet?
Members of the South Carolina Upstate Mycological Society meet monthly, except for January, on the first Monday of the month or as the schedule allows.
Check below for specific dates, locations, and speaker information.
Meetings start at 6:30pm, arrive any time after 6:00pm.
The format of the meetings is intended to be casual and social. We typically have a speaker who gives a presentation on a mycological topic of their choice, and also discuss recent fungal finds, arrange the upcoming foray, work on identifying specimens, etc.
All levels of knowledge are welcome!
Meeting place: See individual event for location, it changes based on availability.
Upcoming Meetings
December Meeting
SCUMS Holiday Party, Potluck, and Auction!
Saturday, December 13. The fun starts at 6:00 pm
Join fellow mushroom enthusiasts and SCUMS members for an evening of socializing and celebration! All interested in celebrating the season and fungi are welcome.
Bring a dish to share (along with a list of ingredients for people with dietary restrictions) and your own drinks. SCUMS will provide non-alcoholic beverages, plus cups, plates, cutlery, etc.
We’ll have live and silent auctions – a fun way to add to your collection of mushroom accessories or share something you would like someone else to appreciate. Bring donations! Items can be just about anything: mushroom art and kitsch, cookbooks, dried mushrooms, field guides, clothing, ornaments etc. – but they do not have to be mushroom-related.
This is a fun(gi) fundraiser to cover speaker expenses. We have had a great lineup of speakers over the last few years, but we need funds to support them in 2025. So don’t forget to bring cash, a credit card, or your checkbook!
When: Saturday, December 7 at 6:00 pm. We’ll eat around 6:30; the auction will end after dinner..
