BMS Seminar Grant

The BMS Seminar Grant, offered by the British Mycological Society, supports UK university seminars on fungal biology. Grants of up to £300 are available to facilitate mycology-themed talks, promoting research and education in this fascinating field. No BMS membership is required, and applications can be submitted anytime, provided they are received at least one month prior to the seminar date. This initiative aims to enhance understanding and appreciation of fungi.

The Society
The British Mycological Society is a Registered Charity (No 276503) open to all who are interested in promoting and learning about the exciting world of fungi. It has member sections devoted to particular aspects of the fungal world including cutting edge research into many aspects of fungal science, the conservation and recording of fungal fruitbodies and the provision of educational resources for use at all ages and experience. If you are working with, fascinated by or wish to learn about fungi joining the Society can help further your knowledge or career.
Since then it has grown to be one of the major mycological societies in the world. The word ‘mycology’ should not put you off, because just as astronomy is the study of the stars, mycology is the study of fungi.
