Maddies mushrooms is a small, family run, gourmet mushroom farm in the northwest corner of Washington state. David and family decided to begin mushroom farming after the birth of their daughter Maddie in 2020. Their family has always been very passionate about eating healthy local food. Seeing a void for fresh mushrooms in the area they were excited to try and help bring a variety of gourmet mushrooms to the community. The farm was met with equal excitement and so far it has been hard to keep up with the need for fresh gourmet mushrooms in this area. This has not only inspired visions of growth for the farm but the creation of a festival to celebrate mycology. The interest and eagerness to learn from so many was the fuel for the concept of creating a platform for people to gather and learn about the many incredible aspects of mycology.
.
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 will make for a full three-days of family fun between Port Angeles and Sequim.
.
No matter where you’re at on your journey with mushrooms, we guarantee this festival will inspire something new!
