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 British Mycological Society provides Undergraduate Student Bursaries aimed at fostering experience in mycological research. These awards are specifically designed to support students interested in any branch of mycology. The grant offers financial support at a rate of £200 per week for a period ranging between 4 and 10 weeks during the summer vacation before the student's final year of study. The goal is to encourage early research experience and engagement in the field of mycology.
