The International Society for Mushroom Science

The International Society for Mushroom Science (ISMS) seeks to further the cultivation of edible (including medicinal) macrofungi. It is non-political and non-profit making. The objectives of ISMS are the dissemination of information on new developments and the science of mushrooms and to stimulate exchange of new ideas between growers and scientists around the world. ISMS sponsors a major international congress on mushrooms every 3-5 years. Other seminars, meetings and workshops are endorsed and supported by ISMS working with national committees.
