In Muscoda Wisconsin residents pursue the Morel Capital of Wisconsin label through the Motel Mushroom Festival held May 18 and 19. Events include arts fairs, a carnival, a bike-a-thon, street dance, and a Sunday community auction as morels emerge amid dry spring weather.
The Muscoda area, centered in Richland Crawford Iowa and Grant counties, is touted as Wisconsin's morel capital with a festival that has grown since its 4 year kickoff. Local experts like Mrs Frye and Mrs Harms emphasize authentic forage and safe preparation, including deep fat frying, while noting the driftless region's ancient landscape and community events boosting Muscoda tourism.
Mollie and Millie Mushroom Muscoda sparked attention by creating elaborate outfits for the annual motel festival. Irene Walmer and Vicki Bomkamp were seen inside the oversized mushroom costumes, adding whimsy to the event.
