This year's Folklife Festival features Earth Optimism, and for the first half of the festival (June 23-27), that will include mushrooms!

MAWDC volunteers will be on hand every day from 11-5 to ID mushrooms and chat with festival visitors. Please stop by and say hi, bring us some mushrooms for the display, and help spread our love of fungi!

There will also be non-MAW mushroom displays to check out, including mushroom leather and mushroom art. King Mushrooms will be selling dried mushrooms and grow bags in the Folklife Marketplace tents.
