Welcome to the Midlands Mushroom FestivalThe Mycelium Connection: From Soul to Soul
Nestled in the heart of the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, the Midlands Mushroom Festival is a celebration of fungi, nature, science, creativity, food, health, and community.
From 20–22 November 2026, mushroom enthusiasts, nature lovers, foragers, growers, artists, chefs, scientists, and curious beginners will gather at Hebron Haven Hotel for an unforgettable three-day journey into the fascinating world of fungi.
Whether you are interested in mushroom cultivation, biodiversity, conservation, culinary mushrooms, medicinal fungi, photography, botanical art, citizen science, or the emerging research surrounding fungi and human wellbeing, the festival offers something for everyone.
Explore expert-led talks by leading mycologists, biologists, researchers, chefs, and citizen scientists. Join guided mushroom walks through the forests of the Midlands. Learn practical cultivation skills from experienced growers. Immerse yourself in botanical art workshops, documentary screenings, photography experiences, and a vibrant festival marketplace showcasing fungi-inspired products, crafts, and innovations.
More than just a festival, this is an opportunity to connect—with nature, with knowledge, and with one another.
Fungi are nature’s great connectors, weaving invisible networks beneath our feet that support entire ecosystems. Inspired by these remarkable organisms, the Midlands Mushroom Festival aims to create meaningful connections between people, ideas, and communities.
Whether you are taking your first steps into the fungal kingdom or are already deeply immersed in the world of mycology, we invite you to join us in celebrating the extraordinary beauty, mystery, and potential of fungi.
