Since that time\, he has been a major contributor to the Society\, holding various positions throughout the years\, including President\, Vice President\, Program Director\, Foray Coordinator\, Database committee chair\, etc.  He has been a member of the Pacific Northwest Key Council and the Canadian trustee and Vice President of the North American Mycological Association. Because of his strong interest in medicinal mushrooms and the centuries’ long use of mushrooms in treatment of various conditions\, Martin studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at Grant MacEwan University. He also spearheaded the formation of NAMA’s Medicinal Mushroom Committee. \nMartin is generally regarded as one of Alberta’s experts in mushroom field identification.  He is responsible for several initiatives including AMS Annual Photo Contest (for members and non-members)\, utilizing the photos received for other projects\, such as AMS’ Alberta Mushroom Poster series including collaboration with Robert Rogers and Alberta Poison Control Centre to produce the “Poisonous Mushrooms of Alberta” poster for emergency and health clinic education and use\, and spearheaded a major photo display for the Royal Alberta Museum. He initiated the Great Alberta Mushroom Foray – AMS’ major mushroom immersion foray held annually at a different place each year in Alberta. He is also part of the Alberta Fungal Database committee\, which is involved in databasing archived and new lists of fungi identified at Alberta forays and in herbaria.  In 2013 Martin spearheaded the move to include DNA sequencing as part of the regular identification protocols at the Great Alberta Mushroom Foray.  \nIn the late 1980s Martin worked with Dr. Steve Davies\, from Alberta Agriculture in developing a small-scale do-it-yourself\, mushroom growing operation\, growing a variety of oyster mushrooms as well as Shiitake mushrooms. \nHe has always had an enthusiasm for educating others about mushrooms. As well as creating and presenting many of the programs for the Alberta Mycological Society\, the North American Mycological Society\, U of A Botanic Garden and other Natural History groups. \nMartin is currently working with “My Fungi”\, a mushroom company developing expertise in psilocybin production for research\, mushroom grow kits and mycoremediation. \nMartin may be contacted at:  Martin@MartinOnMushrooms.com \nAMS ZOOM (c/o Nature Alberta)

SUMMARY:2022 AMS Annual General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Annual General Meeting via ZOOM\nDear Members of the Alberta Mycological Society\,\nThe AMS welcomes its members to attend the virtual 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM). This year\, we’re excited and honoured to have Alan Rockefeller as our guest speaker. He’ll be presenting: \nBeing an Amateur Mycologist \nUsing the tools and resources available to develop your skills as an amateur mycologist and how this can contribute to the advancement of mycology. \nAlan Rockefeller is a citizen mycologist based in Oakland\, California. Rockefeller started studying mushrooms in 2001 and has since traveled around the world to find and classify them. He studies and teaches microscopy and fungal analysis techniques at Counter Culture Labs\, an open-science\, community laboratory in Oakland. He analyzes his regional mushroom collections at the lab using DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction. \nRockefeller discovered and named Psilocybe allenii\, a psychoactive mushroom (magic mushroom) from the West Coast of the United States. He co-authored a 2020 publication characterizing five Psilocybe species. Mycological and psychedelic organizations around the country have invited Rockefeller to present his research. He is esteemed in online communities including the Shroomery\, Mushroom Observer\, and iNaturalist\, where he helps to identify fungi. (Edited from Psychedelic Science). \nHere are some important things to note: \n\n\nRegistration opens Monday\, February 28.\nA day or so prior to the meeting\, an email with the Zoom link will be circulated to all registrants.\nYou can view this AGM agenda and last year’s AGM minutes:\n\n\nAgenda\nMinutes of the 2021AGM\n\n\n\nIf your membership is expiring prior to the AGM\, please renew your membership before March 19\, 2021.\n\nThe AMS is a non-profit organization committed to learning about mycology in Alberta and providing knowledge and great mushroom foray experiences to the public. The AMS Graduate Award was created to inspire university students to pursue fungal research to foster an appreciation for fungi and their role in our ecosystem. We encourage all AMS members to donate by clicking here or the picture of Alberta’s Leccinum boreale mushroom below to donate. No donation is too small\, and a tax receipt will be issued. \n \nWe look forward to seeing you there!
