Celebrate all things mushroom at the Wild Mushroom Festival on Saturday, October 5, now at Deans Mill Farm for the first time!

Learn about mushroom hunting and identification through woodland walks and talks with naturalists, foragers, and mushroom experts. Expand your knowledge at the mushroom identification table while exploring tastes of mushroom-themed food and drink from local chefs.

And enjoy browsing the expanded Mushroom Marketplace, with artists, mycologists, foragers, crafters, growers, and chefs offering items for sale, and the Fantastic Fungi door prize drawing, featuring a curated collection of tools, artwork, jewelry, clothing and growing supplies.

Entry begins promptly at 12:30 pm and the festival runs until 4:30 pm. Advanced ticket purchase is required; the festival is expected to sell out before October 5.
