Societat Catalana de Micologia

The Catalan Society of Mycology (SCM) was founded in 1973 by a group of naturalists, some of whom were university students and who shared an interest in the knowledge of mushrooms. Influenced by the works of Font i Quer, Codina, Malençon, Bertaux, among other masters of mycology, they attended courses, excursions and exhibitions organised by the Department of Botany of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona, ​​where they met every week. A close collaboration was also established with the Botanical Institute of Barcelona, ​​directed by Oriol de Bolòs, who was appointed Honorary Member. The initial group of 75 founders has grown to the 300 members we have today.
