A full menu of mushroom-related activities.

Discover the hidden mycelium superhighway beneath your feet on Saturday, August 19, 2023, from 10 am to 5 pm. The good people at the ADKX have a fantastic lineup of activities, crafts, workshops, presentations, and hikes that everyone in the family can enjoy. Even if you've never given mushrooms a second thought, this event is sure to ignite your interest.

Bring your mushroom samples and get them identified by a team of knowledgeable enthusiasts and experts. Just remember to bring the whole mushroom (including the roots), and it's best to keep it in a paper bag or wrapped in wax paper for preservation.

Important warnings.
