The NSBFG is a fungus recording group affiliated to the Fungus Conservation Trust and the British Mycological Society.

Please email membership enquiries to us at nsbfg6@hotmail.com in the last week of March or first in April, when new membership rates will have been confirmed. We are also hoping to have a spring foray organised by then.

Our programme of scheduled forays for 2024 has now finished, so we are not taking new memberships until the end of March 2025.

The Group meets regularly to identify and record fungi in North Somerset (Vice County 06). We encourage an interest in the importance of fungi in the environment and we strive to promote the conservation of fungi and their threatened habitats. Membership of the group is open to all individuals who support these aims.
