Pennsylvania is the Mushroom Capital of the World for the weekend.

Visit the Mushroom Festival weekend, where there will be farm tours and growers’ exhibits, celebrity chefs and cooking demonstrations, contests, games, music, and more to explore in the region where over 65 percent of the country’s mushrooms are grown.
