The mission of the British Mycological Society is to advance the understanding of fungi and their role in the natural world through research, education, and conservation efforts.
The Postgraduate Student Grant by the British Mycological Society is designed to facilitate postgraduate students' participation in BMS meetings, forays, and field events. It serves the purpose of providing financial assistance by offering discounts on accommodation or other charges associated with attending BMS organized events. This grant is intended to support students in enhancing their educational experience and involvement in mycological studies by ensuring they can attend important society gatherings, with the rule that each applicant may receive this grant once per calendar year. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis but must be submitted at least two months prior to the event of interest.
