MSSF Annual Fungus Fair

In the San Francisco Bay Area, when the first rains tease up the chanterelles and porcini, fungus lovers head to the Fungus Fair: A Celebration of Wild Mushrooms.

We have many educational tables on varied subjects such as:
- Identification table - bring your specimens to find out what you found!
- medicinal mushrooms
- myco-remediation
- cultivation
- ecology
- lichens
- psychedelic fungi
- toxicology

- microscopes and spore prints

There will be a naturalistic woodland display and tables with more than 300 identified species of locally collected fungi.

The Fair provides information on the uses and abuses of fungi, with displays and exhibits on ecology, toxicology, and cultivation. Arrays of identification tables display locally collected mushrooms. Campsite gourmands learn how to serve up the safe and scrumptious species through identification tutorials, cooking demonstrations, and sales of recipe books, soups, snacks, and fresh edibles. Watch renowned Bay Area chefs prepare dishes like matsutakes & roasted cauliflower in coriander cream or sautéed caramel candy cap pears.
