​​How long does the membership last?

Until the end of the 2025 calendar year. 

​​

Joining at any time opens windows to opportunities to learn about mushrooms and meet other members!​​

​​

Are there additional fees?

Rarely. Every now and then, we may ask for an additional fee per participant to cover materials for a class or workshop. We only do this when necessary to offer the event and when we truly believe you'll get your money's worth. 

 

Why is there a cost to join if MSU is a non-profit?

We are a 501(c)(7) non-profit, meaning that they money that keeps us running has to come from the membership which we serve. The money you put into the society comes back to you through our offerings, the organization nor any of its leaders profit from your dues.

​

Are there any discounted memberships?

We do not offer discounted memberships at this time. As a 501(c)(7) organization, we rely on membership dues and fees to keep us running.

​

Will my membership auto-renew?

At this time, memberships will need to be manually renewed every calendar year. We'll send a reminder at the end of the year when it's time to pay your dues for the upcoming year. 

 

Can I sign up for others? 

If you'd like to gift a membership, simply enter their information for the member details when checking out. Your membership covers your household, so no need to buy additional memberships for those in your home. Note that only one shirt comes with your membership, so if another person in your household would like a shirt, you'll need to purchase another membership. ​
