Fungus Festival 2023

October 15, 2023


The time has come, the myceliation is almost complete, and soon there will emerge the greatest fungal festival ever to fruit in New York City!

Get ready for our second annual Fungus Festival, organized by the New York Mycological Society, in partnership with Randall's Island Park Alliance.

This year we have a huge flush of fungal partners, presenters and volunteers! We are excited to celebrate the city's mycelial network, and showcase the breadth of mycological creativity here in New York City.

Come explore diverse displays and programs at the intersection of community art and science, including identification tables of wild mushrooms from the New York area, art and cultivation workshops and activities, lectures, yoga, tastings, urban farms, food vendors, costume corner, games and so much more.

This festival is free and open to all!

Please register for this free event to receive updates on Festival programming and to be informed about registration for walks and workshops!
