Mushrooms are Coming to Alaska!

The light is fading and the Fireweed is going to seed. The out of state visitors are packing up the last of their salmon catch.

The cooler, wetter weather is perfect for mycologist get- togethers. Namely, the Girdwood Fungus Fair and the Cordova Fungus Festival are happening at the end of August.

There are all kinds of mushroom cultural activities like mushroom walks and foray with mycologists from all over Alaska and the Lower 48. You can learn to grow, find, and eat all kinds of mushrooms.

Join the fun! This community is mushrooming!

Alaska Mushroom Festivals and Links

I know one Mushroom Maestro who will be making the trip from his Urban Mushroom Farm in Oakland CA to soggy Girdwood for the Fungus Fair.
