Join us August 2026 for the 12th annual MycoFest , an unforgettable weekend celebrating fungi, ecology, and community at the beautiful Four Quarters Interfaith Sanctuary .
Nestled in the forests of the Appalachian mountains, this incredible sanctuary provides the perfect setting for our most immersive MycoFest yet . In 2026 we are elevating the experience with premium camping, deeper ecological exploration, and the most all-inclusive foraging experience we have ever offered .
MycoFest continues to evolve beyond traditional lecture-style conferences. Instead, we focus on hands-on learning, interactive workshops, guided forays, and skill-sharing experiences led by some of the most knowledgeable educators in mycology, permaculture, and ecological stewardship.
Whether you're a seasoned mycophile, a wild food enthusiast, or just beginning your journey into the fungal kingdom, MycoFest offers an opportunity to learn directly from the landscape and from each other .
