The Société mycologique de France (French pronunciation: [sɔsjete mikɔlɔʒik də fʁɑ̃s], Mycological Society of France), often known by the abbreviation SMF, is an association linking French and French-speaking mycologists.
The society was founded in 1884 in Épinal in the Vosges by three doctors, Lucien Quélet (1832-1889), Antoine Mougeot (1815-1889) and René Joseph Justin Ferry (1845-1924), joined by two pharmacists, Émile Boudier (1828-1920) and Narcisse Théophile Patouillard (1854-1926).
The object of the society was to "Establish relationships between mycologists scattered in various parts of French territory, centralize their research and thereby achieve the foundation of a complete fungal flora of France".
Most founder members were pharmacists, doctors or teachers and then it opened to amateurs.
The society provides many activities and facilities for its members including The society publishes a newsletter, an academic journal (the Bulletin de la Société Mycologique de France), a list of recommended French names of fungi and a database.
