UPCOMING EVENTS & WHERE TO FIND US
Mycofest 12: A Mushroom & Arts Festival 2026
MycoFest 12 – An Immersive Celebration of Fungi, Ecology, and Community
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.
Mid-Summer Mushroom + Plant Walk + Cookout
Join us for a guided mushroom + plant walk in a gorgeous forest in the Finger Lakes! Afterwards we will cook and grill some of our edible fungal findings and enjoy some prepared goodies we make featuring locally grown and gathered ingredients. Feel free to bring more snacks and beverages for you to enjoy after our forest walk.

The Value of Pride Picnic 2026
2025 tested the strength of our LGBTQ+ family, especially our trans community, as we weathered storms together. We continue to rise above. 2026 is a new year, full of hope. We lift joy like a lantern, letting love illuminate our path forward. We honor the full spectrum of our rainbow, our Allies, and especially those whose colors have too often been dimmed or overlooked. Let Your Light Shine!
The Pride Picnic is rooted in 54 years of resilience and unity. We create a space where every voice, steady or trembling, has room to rise. We gather to celebrate our power to rise above, holding our lanterns high - lighting the way toward a future where belonging glows, hope flourishes, and every person is free to live and love authentically.
Join us at the Roundhouse Shelter at Genesee Valley Park for a celebration of Pride-in survival, in community, and in joy! This will be a family-friendly event. We will feature music, entertainment, food, kids' festivities, artists, vendors, and more! Welcoming everyone from zygotes, to Zoomers, to zaddies!
