This event is open to NAMA members only, so you and all attendees you include on your registration must be current NAMA members.

Trout Lodge is gorgeously nestled among 6,000 acres of gently rolling Ozark-foothills oak, red pine and sycamore forest, adjacent to the Mark Twain National Forest, about 15 minutes from the town of Potosi. Our buses will leave from the parking lots near the lodges for our half-day and full-day forays on Thursday afternoon, Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons.

Venerable NAMA member, renowned author and south-central North American mycologist and President of the NAMA-affiliated Arkansas Mycological Society Jay Justice will, along with NAMA Institutional Trustee Dr. Andrew Methven, serve as one of two Chief Mycologists for our event!

We are also delighted to have engaged MSA NAMA Scholarship recipients Mara DeMers and Rachel Swenie, as well as Cornelia Cho, lichenologist Natalie Howe, Andy Miller, Henry Beker and Jon Sommer! Rounding out the roster are local mycomarvel Mike Snyder, who is also committed to lead our cultivation workshops, while the astonishing watercolorist and longtime NAMA foray fave Denis Benjamin is on tap to teach and inspire with his artistic expertise.
