Discover the wonders of mushrooms! Through wild mushroom exploration, cooking and cultivation demos, functional mushroom talks, and DIY workshops, the Santa Cruz Mountain Mushroom Festival offers an incredible opportunity to connect to the mycological network.

The festival will take place at Roaring Camp Railroad, set amongst towering old growth Redwood groves and neighboring Henry Cowell State Park, just north of Santa Cruz. The grounds are expansive and include historic buildings, hiking trails, and wooden railroad trestles that carry passengers on some of the world’s oldest working steam engine trains.
