MIMSY or Mid Island Mycological SYmbionts are kicking off with a meeting in July to provide a meet-and-greet, plan for fall activities, and talk about mushrooms. Bring your mushroom finds and mushroomy ideas to the meeting!
This is the first of many planned meetings by the Mid- Island committee of SVIMS (a.k.a. MIMSY) for 2025. With our structure solidified and the support of SVIMS, we will host local mid-island meetings, forays, workshops, and speakers! When not hosting speakers ourselves, we will be streaming SVIMS club meetings and joining in on the fun happening South island. We aim to cover the area between Parksville and Campbell River, but may expand to include future membership needs. Join us as we discover and meet to discuss the fungus among us. Have a mushroom you want to identify, show off, or talk about? Wonderful! Bring it to the meeting. Interested in volunteering? Great! Please come to the fall -prep kick-off meeting!
Planned Meetings:
Location: North Island College, Campbell River, Room C270
Thursday, July 3, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM – Theme: Meet-and-greet, planning, mushroom finds
Thursday, August 7, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM – Theme: Speaker, TBD (awaiting confirmation)
Bear with us as we get going with a room that is tech-capable; for now, we will be in-person only but recording any speakers for posting afterward! We are working with NIC to secure an equipped room for September.
