Welcome to the Bamfield Fungus Festival

September 25-26, 2026


Bamfield Fungus Festival 2026 is part of the
Great Canadian Bioblitz!

In partnership with MycoMap BC and the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Great Canadian Bioblitz, we will document as many different species of local fungi as possible over the course of 2 days and submit collections for DNA sequencing. Learn from expert mycologists and celebrate the mysterious world of fungi through science, art & community.
