- Free embroidered club patch (for new members) and annual membership card.
- Access to club resources (at meetings and events) such as a microscope and guide book.
- The opportunity to learn and also to teach. We are a curious bunch and our members all bring some specialized knowledge and perspective to the club. While we focus on mushrooms at our meetings, the informal chatter before and after is likely to include topics ranging from flint knapping to bee keeping.
