Morel mushroom fever strikes Wisconsin every spring. The enthusiasm for a trek to the Muscoda Morel Fest held annually the weekend after Mother's Day, is so extreme you’d think there was gold in ‘them thar hills.’ Muscoda, Wisconsin’s Morel Mushroom Capital, is located in the heart of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway following the graceful curves of the Wisconsin River. It’s the perfect day trip and opportunity to join thousands of morel maniacs from around the region.
