The Olympic Peninsula Fungi Festival cultivates discovery, connection, and community. The festival increases access to experiential learning about an array of mycology topics, and brings people together in one of the most renowned ecosystems for fungi on Earth.  

The festival will feature lectures, hands-on workshops, guided forays, mushroom cuisine, and more from internationally acclaimed experts, both local and from across the U.S. Live music, a vendors’ market, and camping.

No matter where you’re at on your journey with mushrooms, we guarantee this festival will inspire something new. 

The Olympic Peninsula Fungi Festival is a multiday educational event taking place Oct 17-20th at the Clallam County Fairgrounds. The event grounds are open to the public and no ticket is required for entry to our vendor hall, education and outreach building, food court beer garden, and kids zone. Tickets are recommended to get the most out of your experience. 

Presentation passes will give access to all the presentations happening on our presentation stage on the day specified (or both days with the weekend pass). Presentation passes do not give you access to field trips, workshops, or the Friday night keynote dinner. Those special events and workshops are tickets separately. presentation passes are not needed to attend just a workshop or special event only the ticket to access the workshop or event you are wanting to attend.
