Big Sur Foragers Festival 2026 is excited to bring back its popular “Wild Foraging Walk and Talk” mushroom hikes. There will be 2 hikes of 30 people each on both Saturday and Sunday, January 24-25, 2026, 4 hikes total. Hikers will meet at 9:30 a.m. at The Big Sur Lodge in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park (subject to change pending road and weather conditions) for a talk and display of wild mushrooms, then set off on guided hikes with our mushroom experts. Cost is $75 per hiker. NO REFUNDS.
Hikes will be led by mushroom experts Mark Gillespie, Anthony Gerbino, Todd Spanier, and Dr. Phil Carpenter. Lisa Haas, assisted by Maryia Crabbe, will provide an incredible display of local wild mushrooms and discuss identification, medicinal and culinary use, and many other interesting facts.
The Foragers Festival has traditionally served as a fundraiser for the Big Sur Health Center. The community's non-profit health center will receive the proceeds from the foraging events to continue to support the presence of local health care services in the Big Sur area.
