About Michigan Mushroom Hunters Club (MMHC)

The Michigan Mushroom Hunters Club is a mushroom enthusiast organization made up of professional and amateur mycologists.  This active group gets together to enjoy identifying and collecting mushrooms, as well as the company of fellow mushroom loving people.  Most of the Forays take place in southeast Michigan, but the club has members in all parts of Michigan.

Forays take place on public and private grounds.  They generally take place between late April and mid November.  You can attend your first mushroom event for free to see if becoming a member is something you are interested in.
