What if, after all this work, nobody shows up for the first Friday the Fungus Fair is open to the public?
Well, four hours, 435 patrons and numerous volunteers later, the 37th Fungus Fair was well on its way to success. Saturday and Sunday followed suit with new attendance records set.
Thank you one and all for your attendance and volunteer efforts. I am humbled by your enthusiasm in helping us to accomplish our goals of providing mycological education and helping to keep the fun in fungi.
Rene Barone Co-chair

FFSC gratefully acknowledges our Fair Co-Chairs, Phil Carpenter and Rene Barone for their many months of hard work and planning. Their tireless and cheerful leadership made this the best Fungus Fair ever. Providing supporting roles were the many members of the Fair Committee and the Group Coordinators. And, those amazing engineers of our new display island—Fred Molner and Ron Bader!
And to our Many Many Enthusiastic Volunteers – We Can’t Do It Without You!
