Harvesting 40 Years Together!

Pennsylvania Mushroom Festival

Atlas Spores is proud to be a Maitake Sponsor of the premier mushroom celebration in Kennett Square — the Mushroom Capital of the World

Celebrating Mushroom Culture

As a Maitake Sponsor of the Pennsylvania Mushroom Festival, Atlas Spores is committed to advancing mushroom education and supporting the mycological community. Our sponsorship helps fund educational initiatives, research programs, and community outreach efforts that align with the festival's mission to celebrate and educate about the fascinating world of fungi.
The Pennsylvania Mushroom Festival has grown from a one-day, one-block local celebration to a nationally-recognized, two-day event that attracts thousands of visitors to Kennett Square. This prestigious festival celebrates mushrooms, mushroom farms, and the vibrant community that makes Kennett Square the Mushroom Capital of the World.
Festival attendees can sample a variety of mushroom-centric foods, from fried mushrooms to mushroom soup and many other delicious dishes, while learning about the mystical and interesting process of mushroom growing. The festival also features craft vendors offering mushroom-themed goodies, opportunities to visit delightful Kennett Square boutiques, and a variety of restaurant options throughout the town.
Beyond the two-day September event, the Mushroom Festival operates year-round through its Grants Program, which provides funding to local non-profit organizations in Kennett Square from festival proceeds. To date, the festival has awarded more than $1.1 million to local non-profits and supported research on the health benefits of mushrooms.
This year's festival theme, "Harvesting 40 Years Together!" encapsulates our shared dedication to nurturing not just the delicious and healthy fungi that we grow, but also supporting the future of our community. At its core, the Mushroom Festival is an opportunity for Kennett Square mushroom farms to give back to the community in which they work and live.
