After the warm embrace of the community last year, we are thrilled to present the second edition of our Mushroom Festival!
Stockholm Mushroom Festival is a multithematic celebration of all things fungi, sharing pieces of knowledge and hidden charms of these still largely uncharted organisms. Through scientific talks, foraging and identification workshops,a dance improvisation performance , cultivation workshops, children’s activities and local mushroom-based culinary experiences, we will let the mushroom immerse the festival’s participants in their wonder, a wonder that has sustained life on earth for millions of years!
