Inside the UK's first dedicated mushroom festival - All Things Fungi brings cultivation, foraging, food, art, and mycology culture together in one event

All Things Fungi centers on the UK's first dedicated mushroom festival, bringing together growers, foragers, chefs, artists, and educators around fungal culture rather than a narrow psychedelic focus. The event highlights mushrooms as food, craft, ecology, and community practice, with programming that spans cultivation knowledge, wild foraging, creative work, and public engagement. The festival setting matters because it treats fungi as a broad cultural and biological domain with practical and social value. That framing connects hobbyists and specialists, creates an accessible entry point for newcomers, and shows how mushroom interest now stretches across sustainability, gastronomy, education, and contemporary subculture. Psychedelic relevance is indirect but present in the wider normalization of mushroom literacy and fungal curiosity. Public events like this can expand awareness of mycology, reduce stigma around fungi more generally, and strengthen communities that overlap with medicinal, ecological, and psychedelic conversations.
