Mycological Society of America

Membership

In 2006, MSA membership included about 1190 members drawn from 51 different countries. The society's constitution states that "Membership in the Society shall be open to persons or organizations who share the stated purposes of the Society." Members are eligible for many different annual awards that recognize scholarship, pedagogy, and research potential. The MSA may bestow honorary membership on particularly distinguished mycologists who reside outside North America.
