List of Magazines:

In addition to the books, the Society also has a subscription to Fungi Magazine, which comes out every

couple of months. We currently have 7 issues, which are also available to members to borrow. Each of the issues

tends to have a theme for the content of the articles, so they cover various topics pretty extensively. Some

examples are one issue deals almost exclusively on Chaga, another on truffles and one deals with Tricholomas of

North America.
