The object of the society was to "Establish relationships between mycologists scattered in various parts of French territory, centralize their research and thereby achieve the foundation of a complete fungal flora of France".
It was the first mycological society in the world. One year after its creation it already had 128 members and three years later it had 250. Most founder members were pharmacists, doctors or teachers and then it opened to amateurs.
