"[2] Members of the MSA meet annually to exchange information and build understanding of fungi.
Six issues are published each year; members receive a subscription as a benefit of membership.
The Mycological Society of America also publishes Mycologia Memoirs, an occasional series of scholarly monographs on aspects of fungal biology.
Members are eligible for many different annual awards that recognize scholarship, pedagogy, and research potential.
The MSA may bestow honorary membership on particularly distinguished mycologists who reside outside North America.
