Welcome

COVID-19 Response

On August 19, 2021 AMC will hold its first in-person club meeting since the start of the pandemic. However, due to the rapid spread of the delta variant and new CDC guidelines, AMC is limiting all in-person indoor events to fully vaccinated people who are wearing masks properly and practicing social distancing. We are currently offering forays (outdoor mushroom hikes) for our fully vaccinated members. We encourage our members to use the monthly newsletter, Sporadic News, to access online content and foray information.

Please note that in these uncertain times any AMC scheduled event could be canceled at any time.

Stay safe and well!
