Our meetings consist of a monthly mushroom walk meet up that are generally held on a trail within the tri-county area of Volusia, Orange, and Seminole county and at times one of the other surrounding counties. We do host classroom club meeting as well and often have additional optional meetups and these might include trail cleanups, night time UV walks, and special classes focused on mushroom identification, cultivation and functionality.
