How to Register for a Walk or Foray
Most MST walks and forays are limited to a certain maximum number of people. We choose that number based on the type of walk or foray, the number of volunteers we have, available parking space and other factors.
Walks and forays which require registration will be clearly marked on the Current Walks and Forays page. For 2022, this will be all walks and forays.
We keep track of members who register and don't show up without cancelling!
This page explains how to register for a walk or foray, how to know if you're registered, and how to change or cancel your registration.

The MST offers several types of walks and forays tailored for different levels of experience and knowledge. The Current Walks and Forays page will have a separate section for each level of walk or foray.
Welcome to Mycology walks are open to all MST members, but In order to attend walks and forays which are meant for more experienced mushroomers, members need to attend some of our easier walks beforehand and pass a short online test. Members who are eligible to attend more advanced forays can also attend any of our easier walks or forays.
To learn more about the different levels of walks and forays, please see the help page About MST Walk & Foray Levels. To learn more about why the MST has put these requirements in place, please see Frequently Asked Questions about Walks and Forays.
If a certain level of walk or foray has requirements that you haven't completed yet, they'll appear in a yellow box above that section. The box will tell you what you still have to do in order to attend walks or forays of that level. For a summary of which levels of walk and foray you can attend and what requirements you have left to complete, see the Your Walk & Foray Options page.
