2021 Mount Pisgah Arboretum Mushroom Show
CMS is happy to announce that we will once again be supporting an in person Mount Pisgah Arboretum (MPA) Mushroom Festival on Halloween (Oct 31st). However, we are taking a time machine back to the beginning days when it was a smaller event that was once called a Mushroom Show. This years event will focus on the mushroom display, edible & poisonous display, fun fungal facts, and all of the other educational displays that CMS normally contributes. There will also be music, a few food and craft vendors, and the guided mushroom walks.
Our festival partner, Lane Community College, will be continuing the new tradition of a Mushroom Show Mycoblitz on iNaturalist that was started last year for the 2020 Virtual Festival. More details about the 2021 Mushroom Show Mycoblitz.
