Dina Clark,
botanist and curator of vascular plants at the Denver Botanic Gardens,

month, from March through October, at 7:30 PM at the Denver Botanic

or a related subject.
Speakers include nationally known mycologists, outside
specialists and knowledgeable members
Visitors & members are encouraged to bring the mushrooms

Highlights
CMS/RMNP Mycoblitz
Saturday-Sunday, August 23-24, 2008
Rocky Mountain National Park
Be part of the first survey of wild mushrooms in Rocky Mountain
National Park. It's not necessary to be a CMS member nor even a particularly
knowledgeable mushroom hunter to participate in this "mycoblitz".
There are many jobs to be filled, many of which require no extensive
experience in mycology or mushrooming. All that is required is a
willingness to work hard on a team for a day or two.
For more information about the CMS/RMNP Mycoblitz and to register
to participate, visit the Mycoblitz
web page . There is no
cost to participate. RMNP will provide free camping sites for those
who want to camp in the Park and all members of collecting teams
will enter RMNP without fee.
Sign up to participate in this historic event.
CMS
Forum Change — CMS has changed its discussion forum
to a Yahoo! group. This became necessary as a result of the burden
on the administrators from masses of spammers trying to access the
forum. The new forum can be found here.
We hope you will join this group to discuss Rocky Mountain mushrooms
in particular and mycology in general.

A
Call for Volunteers for CMS — The Colorado Mycological
Society depends on volunteers from the membership to deliver its
services to the general membership. Many, if not most, of the volunteer
positions do not require extensive knowledge of mycology. What
they do require is enthusiasm and a willingness to
devote a few hours each month to the position.
Although most of
the committees currently have chairpersons assigned to them, there
are still a few that require a chairperson. If you would like to
volunteer for one of these "open" committee positions,
contact the CMS Secretary (Joanna Seward by phone at 303-455-3519
or by
e-mail ).
If you would like to serve on a committee that is currently chaired
or obtain more information about the activities of the committee,
contact the chairperson directly.
