More About the ClubCOVID-19 Response
While we continue to see better trends, it is important to remember COVID-19 is still circulating and will be for some time. Out of respect for our members who are older or have significant health issues AMC asks that members either put on a mask or maintain social distancing when gathering together indoors, when queuing up to talk with a guest speaker or when gathering around an ID table.
Stay safe and well!

Online Programs
We have expanded the scope of our virtual programs this year through AMC's participation in a MycoConsortium of seventeen mushroom clubs. The time and date of each program will vary so please check the listing. For online programs we are using Zoom. All talks will be recorded for later viewing. Online programs are a members-only benefit of the Asheville Mushroom Club.In-person Programs
Our in-person programs will normally start at 6:30 pm in the East Asheville Library conference room. But please check listings for times and dates as some in-person programs might not follow a strict monthly schedule and start time as in previous years.2023 Program Schedule
