When?
Memphis Mushroom Festival is an experiential festival, that is about all things nature.
September 20, 2025
Memphis Mushroom Festival happens every year with Monthly Mycology Classes and events in between.
Why?
The purpose of the Memphis Mushroom Festival is to unify the mid-south in a mission to celebrate and improve the relationship with sustainability, healthy foods, and create a better understanding of the benefits plant medicines provide in a region that needs it most.
We are here to teach you the radical skills of self-sufficiency and self-care, through nature.
Where?
Memphis Mushroom Festival is held at sites across Memphis.
For 2025, we will be at Overton Park, in Midtown Memphis!
Just bring yourself—we’ll handle the rest.
Grow with us
What all will we do? Well…
We take a lot of pride in what we provide. All the food and forays we offer are within our area, specifically highlighting foods and fungi that grow in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Most of our leaders and lecturers are from these areas as well - everything has a local connection.
Inspiring speakers, educated mycologists, workshops, local farms, unbelievable food from talented chefs, guided forays through the forest, live music & DJs, yoga, dancing...geez, there is just too much to name. But needless to say, it's going to be fun.
