British Mycological Society

The British Mycological Society (BMS) is a scientific organization in the UK dedicated to the study of fungi. Established in 1904, it aims to promote mycology (the study of fungi) through research, education, and conservation. The society brings together scientists, enthusiasts, and the public to explore the importance of fungi in ecosystems, medicine, and food. It organizes events, publishes research, and provides resources for identifying mushrooms and other fungi. By fostering a greater understanding of these organisms, the BMS plays a key role in advancing knowledge and appreciation of fungi’s diverse roles in nature.
