The inaugural Fungi Feastival will take place on the NSW South Coast from the 16 June to 16 July 2023.
The Feastival includes a range of activities spanning Batemans Bay to Eden to celebrate the fascinating and unique world of fungi during their peak season.
These activities include seminars on the role of fungi in nature, workshops on growing mushrooms at home and truffle farming, cooking classes, fungi themed dinners, plus mushrooms and truffles on the menu in restaurants and cafes.
The art of fungi will be celebrated with photography, pottery, and felting workshops in addition to movies and educational documentaries.
In need of a brand and logo design, the Fungi Feastival committee held a design competition for a logo with 'autumn colours' and received entries from local artists and designers.
South Coast studio Clare Moore Designs was selected as the winner, with Clare then accommodating several changes to her design to meet the needs of the committee. In addition to designing the Fungi Feastival logo and brand, Clare has designed a range of mushroom foraging zines and merchandise for Milton Mushrooms.
The Fungi Feastival committee felt an instant connection with Clare’s fungi and mushroom design experience and would like to congratulate Clare on her win. If you’re interested in the science and art of fungi in addition to cooking and eating mushrooms and truffles, the Fungi Feastival 2023 activities will delight you.
