AMC 2026 Programs
Online Programs
We are continuing AMC's participation in the MycoConsortium of online mushroom talks, which enables us to offer an expanded scope of virtual programming. The time and date of each program will vary so please check the listing. For online programs we are using
Zoom. Most talks will be recorded for later viewing. Online programs are a
members-only benefit of the Asheville Mushroom Club.
In-person Programs
Our in-person programs will normally start at 6:30 pm in the
East Asheville Library conference room. But please check listings for times and dates as some in-person programs might not follow a strict monthly schedule and start time as in previous years.
