The New York Mycological Society is a nonprofit organization of 430 members who share an interest in mycology as well as in mycophagy. The present NYMS was reincarnated in 1962 by the composer John Cage and a small group of other mushroom lovers and students.[1]

The NYMS runs events and seasonal mushrooming walks throughout the greater NYC area. The society started from a class at The New School in 1959.[2]
