Lake Tahoe Mushroom Festival

The Lake Tahoe Mushroom Festival is being organized by the Sierra Nevada Alliance in partnership with a collective of local fungi experts, including mycologists, educators, researchers, and experienced field guides. Together, we are creating a celebration of fungi, forest ecosystems, and the natural connections that sustain our region.
At its core, this event is dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship and a deeper appreciation for the vital role fungi play in healthy ecosystems. Our goal is to inspire a community that is more connected to the natural world and empowered to become active stewards of the places we cherish.
The festival offers a unique opportunity to engage the public around shared values of conservation, education, curiosity, and community through fun, interactive, and accessible experiences. Attendees can enjoy guided mushroom forays, expert-led lectures and demonstrations, educational exhibits, artisan and vendor booths, live music, a kid zone, nature-based crafts, and many other activities designed to inspire learning and connection.
