About the Festival
The festival is a fundraiser for the Mendocino Coast Mushroom Club, an economic boost for our community, and a showcase for the rich diversity of expression within our coastal community in praise and support of fungi and the natural world. The event is all volunteer–run, as is the club. All club proceeds will be used to fund future club events that promote awareness of the many ways in which mushrooms enhance our lives.
