"Are back copies of the NMMS newsletters available?"  "How about a current
Contact List?" "Can I get a copy of John Rahart's great article about
preserving mushrooms?"

I've received these and other questions related to current and archived 
information, and I answer, "Yes, it's on our Website." The site which has 
become MycoWest.org began in 1996, created with the goal of providing 
information to NMMS members and prospective amateur mycologists. To compare 
the site of eleven years ago with the one today, one might be convinced 
it's a different species, but this is a problem with looking only at 
macroscopic features.

Included on the site is a directory (folder) containing Contact Lists and
other information available only to NMMS members. I have this directory
protected with a username and password which I change each year. The time
has come for such a change.  I inform members of this change via email, so
it is important that I have members' current email addresses. The message
will come from dwallis@mycowest.org, so those with spam blocking should
allow mail from this address.
