Welcome to the Mushroom Festival

The weather was on the iffy side for the start of the 39th annual Mushroom Festival but, the crowds came as they have been doing for years. The festival typically draws more than 100,000 people during the two-day event. Why do they come? For the shrooms.

Cook them. Eat them. Drink them. Paint them. Grow them.

Here’s a little visual taste before the rain came Saturday.

No table? No problem. A little curbside dining. It’s all part of the flavor of the event. 
The Mushroom Festival is an event where people can learn about mushrooms.

 

Chef Carla Hall gives a cooking demonstration.
Maitake means dancing mushroom in Japanese. Maitake mushrooms are considered one of the medicinal or functional mushrooms with adaptogenic properties to help the body maintain health.
You can drink them, too.
Mushrooms can lend themselves to arts other than the art of cooking.
Grow your own. The folks at Phillips Mushrooms say their grow kits can yield up to three harvests.
