Fungi Festival and Cultural Convergence

The Mendocino Coast Mushroom Club is pleased to present our first annual Fungi Festival and Cultural Convergence at the fabulous Caspar Community Center and points beyond.

MCMC is bringing together poets, authors, artists, craftspeople, farmers, foragers, land stewards, guides and the myco-curious in a two day cultural convergence to explore and celebrate mushrooms and their many uses. Our incredibly talented and creative locals will be joined by two nationally known authors to share their stories and knowledge with you.
