50th Anniversary Santa Cruz Fungus Fair
January 12-14, 2024
The Santa Cruz Fungus Fair is coming back to the London Nelson Community Center!
The Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz is again partnering with the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History to bring back the fair for its 50th anniversary. Be sure to check back on this website for updates as we finalize our schedule of events for what is sure to be an epic fair.
Come to Santa Cruz and explore the Kingdom of Fungi! Learn about the hundreds of beautiful and fascinating species of mushrooms found in the Santa Cruz/Monterey and Bay Area. Find fungi on display in a re-created woodland habitat. This unique Santa Cruz tradition features three days of fantastic fun, informative speakers and demonstrations, with fungal activities for the whole family. Initiated by David Arora in 1973, this year's fair represents 50! years of keeping the "fun" in fungi. Join the fun!
The FFSC actively promotes the study of mushrooms, and is dedicated to encouraging an avid interest in the fungal kingdom. We hunt mushrooms for scientific interest and for the table. We encourage a sense of wonder with regard to one of the least understood segments of our global environment. We are fungiphiles, and you just might be one, too...
