The Mycological Society of America has spent the last decade working to make the field of mycology more welcoming and diverse. After discovering in 2015 that most mycologists were white men, the society created new programs and policies to support women, people from racial and ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ scientists. Their efforts have shown progress, especially in getting more women involved in student awards and leadership positions, though there is still more work to be done.
