Welcome to the MMHC....
Your primary resource for mushroom hunting in Michigan.
EVENT Cancelled
Due to unforeseen problems our AUGUST 1, mushroom hunt in Bellaire, MI has been cancelled. Please check our events pages for information on other forays coming up. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
Mushroom hunting and the science of mycology provide a fun outdoor activity for individuals and families alike. Michigan is resplendent in the varieties of fungi that can be found in our abundant forests and fields but one needs to know what to look for; not only that, just when and where to look is important too.
The Michigan Mushroom Hunters Club (MMHC) provides opportunities for the amateur and educated alike to commune both with nature and with others who share an interest in and appreciation for nature's bounty. Whether it is discovering a new culinary delight, getting out in the great outdoors, or simply enjoying the company of others, we think that your membership in and participation with MMHC will prove to be one of great benefit.
Lactarius volemusIf you are new to the world of mushroom hunting or mycology then we can help. We encourage you to contact us and attend one of our forays (hunts) or educational events where we will help to get you started in this rewarding activity. Click on the beginners tab in our menu for information that is of interest to budding mushroom hunters.
MMHC has established an emergency alarm code in the event that a participant in one of our hunts becomes separated from the group, sick, injured, etc. If this happens, we urge the use of the following alarm whistles (a whistle is a must have when hiking through the woods):
One long whistle = Here I am.
Two whistles = Come this way.
Three whistles = Emergency, come quick!!
