Fall Mushroom Dinner Join us in celebrating each new season! As Autumn beckons and we await or enjoy the first fungal fruitings, Chef Bob Wynn and the FFSC Culinary Committee welcome FFSC members and their guests to celebrate the season with our much-loved Fall Mushroom Dinner. The 2025 Fall Mushroom Dinner is scheduled on November 8, 2025. See the Members Only section below for time and location details. Fall Flavors The committee typically prepares the main elements of the meal (main dish, salad, and dessert). In some years we prepare a full dinner; and in other years members are invited to bring appetizers and sides to share, plus your own place setting and beverage of choice. The committee chooses a different theme each year, and it's sure to be a scrumptious menu! Price The price changes each year, depending on the cost of the venue rental and other factors. For 2025, we will not charge admission for this event. A donation bucket will be ready to accept contributions to offset rental fees and expenses. $10 per person is suggested. Thanks! Location The Fall Mushroom Dinner is open to FFSC members and their guests. The location varies each year. We usually post the location in the Members' section below by early October. Let’s come together to share food, celebrate community, and welcome the mushroom season with good cheer. We look forward to seeing you at the table! Members Only Content Login Join FFSC

Beer and Mushrooms Picnic As our stories turn to morel hunts and spring kings, we gather for a co-op potluck picnic with the Central Coast Zymurgeeks , a local homebrew group. (Wouldn't you go just to say you had MET a "Zymurgeek"??) But seriously, these people make some fine brew and cider! The überchefs of FFSC grill up a storm, and FFSC members bring main dishes and lots of mushroomy sides as well. The 2026 Beer and Mushrooms Picnic will be held on Saturday, May 16. Members can access more info below. Fried Morel Corn Fritters at Suds n Shrooms. Photo by Katherine Elvin The annual Beer and Mushrooms Picnic (formerly called "Suds 'n' Shrooms") is a great time to gather, enjoy the end of the season and the usual array of great potluck food that our excellent cooks in the FFSC provide. What's more, you'll have the opportunity to sample some fine, award-winning beers made by the excellent zymurgists (brewers) of the Central Coast Zymurgeeks. If you want to learn or share information about the art of brewing, the Zymurgeeks are extremely knowledgeable and can address your questions. Asking brewers how their beer was crafted will be greeted with enthusiasm and a detailed procedure This is a members only event. Of course members of FFSC and the Zymurgeeks may bring family and friends of all ages, and well-behaved pets on leash!
