Membership

AMS membership aims to promote mycology and interaction and collaboration among mycologists from all areas of the science.  The journal, conferences and forays are all avenues to bring members together to share their research, network and build the profile of mycology.
We encourage anyone interested in mycology and the aims of the society to apply for membership. 
Several types of membership are offered, all include the hardcopy of the Society’s Journal Australasian Mycologist and all individual memberships provide voting rights in Society general meetings. 
Full and concessional rates for Australian, New Zealand or other international members provide for additional postage costs.
In accordance with obligations under the Society’s Constitution, all new applications for membership are subject to ratification by Council.
