Fungi Festivals Around the Globe

Mushie Festival

From Colorado to Ireland and all the way to Tasmania, the mycelial network of mushroom festivals is robust and active.

These events are the best ways to learn and celebrate the wide range of fungi and mushrooms. Learning something new is a given. Meeting someone new is to be expected. Becoming even more obsessed with the magic of mushrooms, very very likely.

Regardless of where you are in the world, chances are, there’s a mushroom festival nearby.

Here are some of the main ones I’ve found, so far.

Telluride Mushroom Festival: The Crown Jewel of Fungi Festivals

Every August, the San Juan Mountains of Colorado transform into a mycological paradise. The Telluride Mushroom Festival stands out as North America’s premier mushroom event, where foraging adventures meet scientific discovery.

What makes Telluride special? Picture yourself joining expert-guided forays through mountain trails, learning about cutting-edge mushroom research, and yes – even dancing in a mushroom-themed parade through historic downtown Telluride.

Kennett Square: Where Mushroom History Meets Culinary Art

Pennsylvania’s Kennett Square didn’t earn its title as the “Mushroom Capital of the World” by accident. Each September, this charming town hosts a festival that’s pure heaven for food lovers. The famous mushroom soup cook-offs showcase local expertise passed down through generations of mushroom-growing families.

International Mushroom Days: Where Innovation Meets Tradition

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, the biennial International Mushroom Days brings together the world’s leading mycology experts. This isn’t just any festival – it’s where ancient mushroom wisdom meets modern cultivation techniques, creating a unique blend of traditional knowledge and cutting-edge innovation.

Fungus Fest: California’s Coastal Mushroom Adventure

Santa Cruz’s Fungus Fest proves that January isn’t too early to celebrate mushrooms. This winter gathering along California’s stunning coast offers something special: the chance to discover how coastal ecosystems create unique conditions for fascinating fungi varieties.

Monaghan Town Mushroom Festival: Ireland’s Fungi Revolution

Monaghan County is Ireland’s mushroom heartland, and its inaugural festival proves why. This one-day celebration features expert-guided foraging walks in Rossmore Park, engaging talks on everything from biodiversity to folklore, hands-on workshops, and a screening of the groundbreaking film ‘Fantastic Fungi’. Local restaurants join the fun with special mushroom-themed menus, making this festival a perfect blend of education, culture, and culinary exploration.

Tasmania’s Wild Mushroom Foray: The Ultimate Fungi Adventure

Down under, Tasmania’s Wild Mushroom Foray takes mushroom appreciation to new heights. This isn’t just a festival – it’s an adventure through some of the world’s most unique forests, where participants discover fungi species found nowhere else on Earth.

Why Mushroom Festivals Matter

These festivals do more than celebrate fungi – they create connections. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned mushroom enthusiast, these gatherings offer chances to learn, share, and grow within the global mushroom-loving community.

Each festival tells its own story about how different cultures have connected with mushrooms throughout history. From culinary traditions to scientific breakthroughs, these celebrations remind us that fungi have been fascinating humans long before we understood their full potential.
