NAMA is pleased to announce that the Registry of Mushrooms in Works of Art has returned to our website, after a five-year hiatus. The Registry was compiled and curated by Elio Schaechter, Daniel Thoen, and Nancy Mladenoff, with earlier contributions by Hanns Kreisel and Tjakko Stijve.
This new version has over 1,200 entries, includes lots of sample images, and covers mushrooms in art from the early Renaissance to today. To get started, follow this link... or click on ART REGISTRY on the navigation bar.

NAMA is committed to the promotion of scientific and educational activities related to fungi.

NAMA supports the protection of natural areas and their biological integrity.

We advocate the sustainable use of mushrooms as a resource and endorse responsible mushroom collecting that does not harm the fungi or their habitats.
