We are an independent voluntary group of enthusiasts for mushrooms, toadstools and other fungi. Join us for informal, family-friendly walks in Buckinghamshire woodland and countryside to find, discover about and record fungi. We are not a group of foragers, however, and focus on learning how to identify fungi and recognise the commoner species in the field. Both edible and poisonous species are covered but collecting to eat is not one of our main aims.

Recognizing and recording the fungi, as part of a network of recording groups, helps us support the conservation of these vital organisms and is great fun! Newcomers are encouraged to learn to identify fungi with help from more experienced members. Please explore our website to learn more.

If you would like to join us, please go to our membership section to complete and send off the application form with your subscription.
