The mission of the Australasian Mycological Society is to promote research and teaching in all areas of fungal biology, to raise the profile of mycology in the Australasian region, to promote the conservation of Australasian fungi and to facilitate networking and collaboration among mycologists.
AMS membership includes experts in diverse areas including fungal taxonomy and systematics, ecology, evolution, epidemiology, biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology, biotechnology, conservation and biodiversity, physiology, plant pathology and medical mycology. Our journal, Australasian Mycologist, is published three times per year and includes the latest research in fungal biology from our region. We organize conferences and forays to bring members together to share their research and to network in a relaxed environment.
Our society welcome new members.
