Activities
In addition to meetings and publications, the Society is involved in the teaching of mycology. It organizes regular field-trips, both in the United Kingdom and abroad, often in formal association with the mycological society in the host country, as for example, the 1952 series of field-trips in France in concert with the Société mycologique de France.
In 1971 under the leadership of then president Terence Ingold, the Society organized and hosted the first international congress of mycologists at Exeter. Eight mycological societies were represented.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
