The Colorado Mycological Society (CMS) is excited to announce two types of awards in order to support the advancement of mycology research, education, and experience in the Southern Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Please share this announcement with your members, students, and any other interested parties with an opportunity to apply.

In 2026, the Society will offer the following awards:

  • One Academic Research Award of $2500.
  • Multiple Travel Awards ranging from $500 to $1000 from a total budget of $2500.

We’re scientists, naturalists, chefs, writers, artists, gardeners, cultivators, hikers and admirers who’ve come together to share our passion for mushrooms.

Thank you to all our amazing volunteers for a great 2025, we'll be back spring 2026 with forays and meetings!

While we’re all waiting for the fungi to return…
