Fungus Fair 2014 - Program Schedule
The Fungus Fair has two main speaking venues: the main room (Room 3) is where you'll find our headliners and cooking demonstrations. Entry passes to the main room will be available outside the room 30 minutes prior to the scheduled presentation. A smaller lecture room (Room 1) down the hall has informative and educational talks about mushrooms, given by local, knowledgeable mycologists. The schedule for these rooms is listed below.
We will be conducting a class specifically designed for students to be held from 10:30-11:30 both Saturday and Sunday mornings in the Teen Center at Louden Nelson. Follow this link to learn more... click on the "2013 Fungus Fair Educational Information" tab.
Visit the Kid's Room for mushroom activities such as clay sculpture, water colors, face painting, and making mushroom dyed fabric.
You can also ask questions about mushrooms you have brought to the fair in the main auditorium at the mushroom identification table, staffed by our best identification experts.
