Step into the enchanting world of fungi at the 48th Annual Mushroom Fair, hosted by the Humboldt Bay Mycological Society (HBMS)!
Join us for a day of fresh fungi displays, educational talks, workshops, vendors, food trucks, and more. Shop mushroom cultivation kits, books, art, apparel, and other fungi finds, and bring mushrooms you'd like identified by our experts. If you can't bring the mushroom itself, photos showing both the top and underside work too!
The annual Mushroom Fair is HBMS's largest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds support scholarships, speaker honoraria, and programs that inspire education and appreciation for fungi throughout our community.
