The Mycological Association of Washington, DC (MAW) is a nonprofit club of people  interested in mushrooms, from absolute beginners to professional mycologists. Our events in DC, Maryland, and Virginia include monthly guest speakers, forays with expert identifiers, and members-only tasting events.

To learn more about the hidden world beneath your feet and find out which mushrooms grow in your neck of the woods, join us for an upcoming meeting or foray, or watch some of our presentations on YouTube.
