Members of the South Carolina Upstate Mycological Society meet monthly on the first Monday of the month. Meetings start at 6:30 pm, and we meet at 222 Long Hall on the Clemson University Campus (map below). The format of the meetings is intended to be casual and social. We typically have a speaker who gives a presentation on a mycological topic of his or her choice, and also discuss recent fungal finds, arrange the upcoming foray, work on identifying specimens, etc. All levels of knowledge are welcome.
