Expand your knowledge at the mushroom identification table while exploring tastes of mushroom-themed food and drink from local chefs. Browse the expanded Mushroom Marketplace, with artists, mycologists, foragers, crafters, growers, and chefs offering items for sale. Plus we'll have a local tattoo artist pop-up with mushroom-themed designs and live music!
