Mushrooms get a full day at Mount Pisgah
Sunday's festival pairs a large species exhibit with walks, music and cooking.
Hundreds of local mushroom species will be the center of attention at Mount Pisgah Arboretum on Sunday, October 25. The festival program includes an expert identification table, guided nature walks and live music.
There is also a mushroom-soup demonstration by chefs from Eugene's Seasoned restaurant. Festival listings disagree about opening time and ticket price; check the Arboretum's current schedule and ticket instructions before going. The organizer asks visitors to leave dogs at home.

What changed: Today's local guide highlights Sunday's festival; organizer pages confirm the date and program.
Why it matters: It is a chance to learn about local fungi without treating an identification display as foraging advice.
Who may be affected: Nature enthusiasts, cooks and weekend visitors.
