Mycological Society of AmericaThe Mycological Society of America (MSA) is the professional organization of mycologists (scientists who study fungi) in the U.S. and Canada. It was founded in 1932. The Society's constitution states that "The purpose of the Society is to promote and advance the science of mycology and to foster and encourage research and education in mycology in all its aspects." Members of the MSA meet annually to exchange information and build understanding of fungi. Further information about the Mycological Society of America is available on its website.
