When the first rains tease up the chanterelles and porcini, fungus lovers head to the Fungus Fair: A Celebration of Wild Mushrooms.
The December 2024 MSSF 52nd Fungus Fair will display fungi collected in various locations in California. Annual collections have been made by MSSF since 1972. This historical information is a potentially important contribution to science as climate change affects our local ecosystems.

Lectures: Speaker schedule to be determined.
Workshops: Schedule to be determined [Workshops require a separate add-on ticket , in addition to your general admission ticket.]
Naturalistic displays of more than 300 species of locally collected fungi

Educational tables on varied subjects such as medicinal mushrooms, myco-remediation, cultivation, ecology, psychedelic fungi, dyes from fungi, toxicology, edible mushrooms, and more…
Microscopes and spore prints
Vendors with fun mushroom products
Mingle and meet other mushroom loving people.
Come and try a bowl of delicious mushroom soup.
