To educate members and the public about mycology through initiatives such as lectures, publications, forays, mushroom walks, etc.

To act as a resource for providing information to the community on matters affecting the preservation, identification and appreciation of the fungi of New Brunswick

To identify sites of particular ecological value and to work with other natural history and conservation organizations and government agencies to achieve their preservation

To research and gather data on mycological diversity in NB and to disseminate the resulting information to government agencies, research scientists, and interested members of the public

To actively share information with, and encourage participation from Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati peoples, as we recognize that the activities of the society take place in their traditional unceded territory
