2023 AGM President's Dinner
2023-03-18 18:00 - 21:00 | Shady Nook Hall, 28348 Township Rd 380, Red Deer County, Alberta, T4E 2G2, Canada
We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten, dairy, and other restrictions. Please specify them when purchasing your ticket.
President’s Award
Janet Melnychuk
Our President’s Dinner is a wonderful, educational evening social where you can meet and chat with mycologists, amateur mycologists, and other nature enthusiasts. During this event, our President recognizes an AMS member, excluding AMS board members, for making outstanding contributions to the AMS, progressing the goals of the AMS, or simply being a source of support and information for our growing membership.
You’ll have another opportunity to purchase merchandise, fungi books, and remaining vintage fungi books from our storage if you missed the AGM.
During this evening, Andy MacKinnon, co-author of Mushrooms of British Columbia, will present:
Fabulous Plants and Their Fungal Friends
Plants are fascinating. Fungi are fascinating. But for sheer entertainment value, it’s difficult to beat plants, plus fungi. Fungi have been associated with plants since plants first colonized the land, and are requisite partners of almost all of our familiar Alberta plants.
The President’s Dinner is brought to you by Chef Patrick Chaudet from Edmonton’s Italian Santa Maria Goretti Centre. We are serving a four course dinner to our attendees this year, featuring much sought after wild edible mushrooms.
Dinner Menu
6:00 PM – Doors open.
6:30 PM – Dinner is served.
Appetizer – Black Chanterelle, spinach and ricotta cheese deep-fried ravioli
Salad – Roasted wild mushroom salad, crispy cheese tulip on base frisée
Entrée – Alberta pork medallions, morel sauce, Swiss rösti potato, asparagus, grape tomato
Dessert – Candy cap mushroom panna cotta, Coffee and Tea
President’s Award
The President’s Award was originally proposed by then President Peter Arabchuk when he presented awards to Bill Richards and Martin Osis for contributions to the Alberta Mycological Society, likely sometime about 2006 or so. Since then both Martin and Bill have also been awarded with Honorary Life Memberships.
In 2008 the Board redefined the President’s Award and proposed two criteria:

The award should go to a non-Board member for extraordinary contributions and effort on behalf of the Society, and
It was purely the President’s prerogative to make the choice.

This year the AMS President’s Award goes to Janet Melnychuk. Janet doesn’t really have an interest in mycology; but she is a highly capable bookkeeper. I met Janet with Rosemarie in April 2018. Rosemarie had stepped down as President but she was determined to get the AMS assistance with tracking our finances. The AMS had no Treasurer and had no bookkeeper. (and no President, but that’s a different story.) At that personal meeting Janet volunteered to sort out our finances, enter invoices into QuickBooks, balance the cheque book monthly, and prepare year-end financial statements. Whew! And she has done so, ever since 2018. With no compensation and with little to no recognition. To recognize her now for all her work (that most would find mindboggling), I will be delivering a coffee table book: Truffles: Earth’s Black Diamonds, and an honorarium to her in the near future.
Congratulations Janet and thank you for your contributions to the AMS. It is fitting that you are not present. But you are here: if you check item 10 on our agenda today – you have kept us in the good books!
Our AMS website is undergoing some maintenance, and you may experience some lag or long wait times when registering.
IMPORTANT: After you submit your PayPal payment, please wait for a Confirmation page to appear after the PayPal window closes. This will ensure your order is complete and that you receive a confirmation email and your ticket.
Doors open at 6:00 PM and dinner is served at 6:30 PM.

12: 30 PM – A Natural and Cultural History of Magic Mushrooms in British Columbia
Magic mushrooms have been employed in spiritual practices in Mexico and Central America for millennia. The visionary powers of these mushrooms first became known to the world in 1957 and in the early 1960s, they sparked a social and cultural “psychedelic revolution” soon dominated by lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). The discovery that magic mushrooms grew commonly and abundantly in the Pacific Northwest and in British Columbia (BC) helped make Canada’s westernmost province a focal point of social change. Recent advances show promise for carefully monitored treatment of some psychological disorders, see for example Canadian Nurse July 2020 Magic mushrooms and the future of mental health care.

This presentation will explore the natural history of BC’s magic mushrooms and their role in the rapidly changing counter culture of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and up to the present day.

3:00 PM – AGM wraps up.
Our AMS website is undergoing some maintenance, and you may experience some lag or long wait times when registering.

Live Virtual Presentation by Stephen Russell
2022-11-10 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
A Virtual Presentation with Stephen Russell
The Next Generation of DNA Research
Join us with Stephen Russell, a mycologist from Indiana working on a biodiversity survey of all of the macrofungi (mushrooms) that occur in the state. He founded The Hoosier Mushroom Society in 2009 and is currently the President of the organization. His initial interest in mushrooms began with cultivation, which led to writing a book titled The Essential Guide to Cultivating Mushrooms (Storey Publishing, 2014). Stephen’s current project is a citizen science and DNA based exploration of local fungal biodiversity, which has now generated thousands of new DNA-sequenced collections of fungal fruitbodies from across the state – amassing records for over 2,000 unique species.
Please RSVP by November 9th, 2022, to attend. We will email you the ZOOM link as the event dates draws closer.

MUSHROOM HUNTING AND WILD FOOD FORAGING
LIVE TALK WITH ORION AONJoin us with Orion Aon who will share his journey with mushroom hunting in the Southern Rockies. We have tremendous appreciation for the outdoors, especially the wild edible mushrooms and plants we can find in the mountains, the natural areas around us, and our own backyard! In this presentation, Orion will talk about the best way to start foraging, valuable lessons and experiences he’s learned, important foraging safety information, and other tips and tricks of the forager’s trade.
Please RSVP by November 4th, 2022, to attend. We will email you the ZOOM link as the event dates draws closer.
Orion Aon is an avid outdoorsman with a passion for all things wild food! He was born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he became interested in mushroom hunting at a young age. He moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in 2008 to study Natural Resource Management and Fisheries Biology at Colorado State University, choices that were shaped by his passion for the outdoors! In 2015, Orion started Forage Colorado where he shares his passion for edible wild plants and mushrooms, writes and creates educational content, and offers private foraging classes.
