Description

The Oregon coast’s mild temperatures, abundant moisture, and lush forests create the ideal environment for mushrooms to flourish. Celebrate the incredible diversity of local fungi at the Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival in Brookings, held the first weekend of November. This two-day mushroom extravaganza features vendors and displays showcasing over 200 mushroom varieties identified by experts. Participate in workshops and presentations with regional and national mushroom experts on topics like mushroom harvesting, identification, and the many uses of wild mushrooms, including cooking, medicinal tinctures, and preservation. You can also sign up for a guided mushroom hike led by an expert. Stay tuned for this year’s location announcement in May.
