Victoria’s best braved the raindrops and viruses on October 31, protected by raincoats, masks and vaccines, to share their delight with mushrooms from the Victoria area. 129 species were recorded, not quite as high as in 2008 (134), definitely lower than 2010 (252), but much higher than 2020 (0). Here are a few photos sent in by Andrew Anderson, showing just a few of the people who worked hard to make it a success.
SVIMS is a member of The North American Mycological Association (NAMA), the collective that unites the mycological societies on this continent. Six times a year NAMA publishes its newsletter, the Mycophile, and makes it available to members of all supporting clubs. The November/December 2021 issue was recently released.

Two SVIMS members have written a new book about BC Mushrooms for the Royal BC Museum Press handbook series. Munro’s Books is hosting a book signing event for the release.
