* to travel to meetings if presenting a poster or paper
* with fieldwork or research projects
* to buy books or scientific equipment
* to hire meeting rooms or attend forays
* to support the cost of preparing applications to the Heritage Lottery Fund for mycological projects.
These Grants are open to all categories of members of the Society. They should not be used to support travel and/or accommodation at BMS-organised scientific meetings. Awards will not be made to supplement existing undergraduate awards or replace institutional funding for undergraduate or postgraduate research. Support for attendance at meetings will be considered only if: other supporting funds are available; the applicant is presenting a poster or paper; the application is submitted normally at least four months prior to the meeting. Normally only one person will be supported from any one group to attend a meeting. Applications based on hardship will be considered sympathetically (and, of course, confidentially). The basic criterion is that the award is used to promote mycology. Retrospective application will not normally be considered.
Application form: 
Deadlines for applications are:
March 20; July 20; September 20 and December 20 in each year
These are for members under 25 years to attend Society Meetings and Forays
The awards take the form of a voucher giving discount on the accommodation and other charges set out on any booking form for a meeting or foray of the British Mycological Society. Travel expenses will not be met and normally only a single award will be made to an applicant in any one calendar year. Applications must be received at least two clear months before the meeting to which they refer and maybe submitted prior to the publication of a booking form.
Application form:
Seminar grants are available to support speakers at UK university seminar programmes. The topic must be on an aspect of fungal biology and the university must provide evidence of teaching and research programmes in mycology. The maximum grant available is £100.
