Staying up to date

The group does not currently have a website.  The best way to stay up to date with them is their Facebook page.  The page is updated regularly.  It is  maintained by Tim Gerlitz.  Tim is also the club educator.

Tim keeps the Facebook page up to date and is very knowledgeable about the area.  If you have interest in learning more about mushrooms, the North Idaho Mushroom Club Mycological Association is an excellent place to get information and meet some like minded people.  You’re sure to learn about some great mushroom hunting grounds as well as a delicious dinner!
