Mycophile Membership Level ($175 per individual member; $275 per household*) for 2026 season (May through October 2026):
Access to monthly (May through October) mushroom hunting online class series featuring a seasonal presentation and conditions report. Join us each month for our members-only online class series with timely and targeted advice on how to find the choicest seasonal edibles.

Online class recordings will be emailed to members by 5pm EST on the following Thursdays in 2026: May 14, June 11, July 9, August 13, September 10 and October 8. Participants should expect that each class will last around 45-60 minutes. Class recordings will be available for viewing to members through the end of each month. The classes will be fresh content specific to 2026 conditions and seasonality, and will be shared as recordings that can be viewed at whatever time works best in your schedule.
To supplement this and foster conversation or sharing of photographs of your recent finds, we will also offer monthly lunch-time office hours and Q & A sessions, from noon to 12:30pm on the third Thursday of each month. These office hours sessions will be available by member RSVP.
Receive a set of colorful ForageCast™ handouts in the mail for each month from May to October. These handouts feature distinctive and delicious species in season each month in the Northeastern North American region. The ForageCast™ helps steer you towards a productive hunt with tips on where to look for each gourmet or medicinal mushroom, but is not intended for ID purposes.
