Oakland’s 38th Annual Fungus Fair
Explore the mysteries of the mushroom at the 38th Annual Fungus Fair, presented by the Oakland Museum of California and the Mycological Society of San Francisco, Saturday and Sunday, 1-2 December. Fair hours historically are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and 12-5 p.m. on Sunday.
The annual celebration of wild mushrooms is produced by the museum’s Natural Sciences Department and the Mycological Society of San Francisco (MSSF), with about 90 volunteer mycophiles. They gather, sort, label, and arrange hundreds of fresh specimens for the Fair’s displays, cooking demonstrations, and children’s activities. The Fair drew more than 2500 visitors in 2005.
Current information about this year’s Fungus Fair will be forthcoming. In the meantime mark your calendars so that you can enjoy this yearly event!
